Mission

The Care & Cure Institute is dedicated to removing financial barriers for doctors pursuing advanced training in pediatric epilepsy, with an ambitious goal of funding 100 fellows by 2030. By collaborating with hospitals and academic centers nationwide, the Institute plans to place trained pediatric epileptologists in Level 4 hospitals and establish dedicated Pediatric Units across the country. This initiative ensures an immediate impact, as doctors begin caring for children during and immediately after their training.

Begin to Build a Relationship

We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s director of development and/or Executive Director.

Care & Cure has allowed us not only to be responsive to families and children with epilepsy, but also to assemble top talent — world-class epileptologists who trained with us and often chose to stay with us. And when they didn’t stay with us, many of them have gone on to neighboring institutions.
