Epilepsy Simcoe County

Epilepsy Simcoe County (ESC) was established in 1978 as a volunteer organization to assist the people of Simcoe County with education, support, awareness and advocacy. We are located in downtown Barrie and serve our member base in the greater Simcoe County Area. Epilepsy Simcoe County is the place where people from our region, living with epilepsy, can learn more about their condition, get the help they need and be a part of a family of caring and supporting people. It is a common disorder, not well understood, and affects approximately 300,000 Canadians and 50 million people worldwide. It is believed that approximately 1 in 100 people in the greater Simcoe County Area live with this disorder.
