Epilepsy is not always visible.

Many people living with epilepsy may look fine on the outside, but manage seizures, medication side effects, anxiety, memory challenges, or fatigue every day. These invisible challenges can affect work, school, relationships, and daily life, even when nothing appears different.

Epilepsy looks different for every person. You cannot tell who is living with it just by looking.

On International Epilepsy Day, we recognize the strength of those navigating epilepsy and the importance of understanding, compassion, and awareness.

If you or someone you love is living with epilepsy, you are not alone.

Sometimes the most important part of epilepsy care happens outside the exam room.

In this video, Marshall shares a moment when a patient was struggling to access her seizure medication after moving back to Minnesota. Unsure of where to turn next, she needed guidance, reassurance, and timely support to help prevent another seizure.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, caring for patients means meeting them where they are, listening honestly, and helping them navigate next steps one piece at a time. Ensuring access to medication and continuity of care can make a critical difference in safety and quality of life.

This is what compassionate, patient centered epilepsy care looks like.

Living with epilepsy is not just about managing seizures, it is about being heard.

In this patient story, Rachel shares her journey with epilepsy following a traumatic brain injury and what it has meant to receive care at Minnesota Epilepsy Group. From her first hospitalization as a teenager to ongoing care today, she highlights the importance of being listened to, taken seriously, and treated as a whole person.

Through her care with Jessica Winslow, Rachel describes a collaborative approach where concerns are addressed, plans are made together, and patients feel humanized, not rushed or dismissed.

This is what patient centered epilepsy care looks like.

As the New-Patient Care Coordinator at Minnesota Epilepsy Group, Kaitlyn Kowalski helps families take the first step in their care journey. From scheduling appointments to answering questions, she ensures every new patient feels comfortable and informed. “Starting at a new clinic can be nerve-wracking,” Kaitlyn says, “but our team works together to make sure every patient feels supported and confident in their care.”

Today we recognize 1 in 26 Day, a reminder that 1 in 26 people in the United States will develop epilepsy. Epilepsy looks different for everyone. You cannot tell by looking at someone, and many people also navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning challenges, or other medical conditions.

Awareness helps us better understand and support the individuals and families affected by epilepsy.

If you know someone with epilepsy, or if you live with epilepsy yourself, please share this video to help spread awareness.

In this staff story, Marshal Floyd, a member of our Patient Services team at Minnesota Epilepsy Group, shares a meaningful moment that reflects the heart of our work. He describes a young patient who, after years of managing epilepsy and staying closely connected with our clinic, finally reached a milestone they had long hoped for — returning to swim class and confidently enjoying summer activities after a long period of being seizure free.

For Marshal and our entire team, updates like this are more than medical progress. They are reminders of resilience, partnership, and the profound impact that personalized, consistent care can make in a family’s life.

As we continue our Staff Stories series, we invite you to share your own experiences with Minnesota Epilepsy Group. Your journeys inspire us and help others feel supported and understood.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we understand that supporting well-being includes creating time to pause and breathe.

Press play, settle in, and allow yourself a moment of calm before continuing with the rest of your day.

Rachel is often one of the first people patients meet when they arrive—helping with check-in, answering calls, and connecting families with their care team. She wants every patient to know that MEG is here to support them. “Coming to a specialty clinic can feel overwhelming,” she says. “But we’re here to help you—this is a team effort.” Rachel’s compassion and dedication remind patients that they’re never alone on their epilepsy journey.

Happy National Pharmacist Day! Today we recognize the pharmacists who play an essential role in epilepsy care. With more than 30 anti-seizure medications — many with complex interactions, controlled status, or prior authorization requirements — pharmacists help keep treatment safe, consistent, and effective. Their expertise prevents medication delays that can lead to breakthrough seizures or the need for slow re-titration. They also support patients through dose changes, refill coordination, insurance navigation, and up-to-date guidance as new medications are approved. We’re grateful for the partnership between our pharmacists and neurologists, working together to deliver safe, individualized care for every patient. Thank you, pharmacists, for everything you do for our epilepsy community. 💜

As she explains, our smaller clinic model allows for deeply personal care, longer visits, and real time access to answers when they matter most.

Patients are not rushed through quick appointments. Instead, they receive the time, attention, and expertise needed to understand their symptoms and feel supported in every step of their care. Rachel also highlights how our neurology team truly knows their patients, remembers their stories, and works together to find solutions with compassion and urgency.

Her perspective reflects what we strive for every day, providing thoughtful, individualized care in a place where patients are seen, heard, and cared for as whole individuals.
