Where's the Rare?

The Rare Epilepsy Network has collected the locations of all REN Members and implemented them into a map to streamline the searching process for a rare epilepsy organization and show which multiple locations may be located. REN has also listed the organizations below as a resource for families to find a community that fits their diagnosis and needs. We hope this resource will also help clinicians make referrals of patients to communities of interest. Although many of these organizations are headquartered in the U.S., most if not all serve national and international constituencies.

 

Disclaimer:

The information about the REN Organizations may change between annual updates. Email info@rareepilepsynetwork.org to report any problems you encounter with the contact information posted below. Please note that listing these organizations on our website does not mean that we are endorsing them. 

 

None of the information provided by the Rare Epilepsy Organization, including the identification of REN Member organizations, is intended as medical advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional consultation with a qualified healthcare provider familiar with a patient’s medical needs.  

All information listed in the map is also repeated below.  Click one of the following letters to be directed to the corresponding state name. Or use CTRL + F (on windows) or COMMAND + F (on mac) and enter your organization's name.
