“ Receiving academic quality care or a complex issue such as epilepsy is paramount. Being able to obtain such high level care close to home is a luxury, one that we are now fortunate to offer to patients in South Orange County. Thanks to the incredible collaborative spirit of the epilepsy care consortium, Mission hospital is privileged to be a part of a collaborative approach to fighting for epilepsy control. Such a unique framework that enables patients access to academic approaches and technologies, combined with the access of local providers offers a truly unique experience allowing for maximal quality care with minimal patient burden. With this approach together, we look to improve our patient’s experience while continuing their journey toward seizure freedom.”
