Our Purpose
Break isolation. Offer support. Empower the community.
Since 1987, our organization has been supporting people living with epilepsy and their loved ones across Haute-Yamaska, Brome-Missisquoi, and all of Montérégie. Whether it’s to understand a diagnosis, find resources, or simply feel heard, we are here — every step of the way.
Épilepsie Montérégie is a non-profit organization for awareness, guidance, intervention, promotion and advocacy for people living with epilepsy and their families. This extensive experience has allowed us to develop solid expertise to support people affected by epilepsy and their loved ones.

Our History
Over time…
In 2017, Épilepsie Granby et Région celebrated its 30th anniversary by changing its identity and becoming Épilepsie Montérégie. The territory was expanded, so the organization now covers the vast and populous Montérégie region.
Épilepsie Montérégie proudly displays its new logo and still has the same mission: to serve people living with epilepsy and their loved ones.
