Event Details

On Sunday, November 20th, Paul Martin’s American Bistro will host a special fundraiser to benefit Sutter Health’s Pediatric & Adult Epilepsy Support Program. This event is part of the broader National Epilepsy Awareness Month initiative.

Comprehensive Epilepsy Care at Sutter Medical Center

Since 1991, the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Sutter Medical Center has been a beacon of hope for individuals with epilepsy. The center's multidisciplinary team includes epileptologists, pediatric and adult neurosurgeons, specialized neuro nursing staff, and 24-hour monitoring technicians. This team collaborates to evaluate seizures, diagnose causes, and determine the most effective treatment plans. The involvement of patients, their families, and referring doctors is crucial in achieving the best outcomes.

Pediatric Epilepsy Program Innovations

Sutter Pediatric Epilepsy is at the forefront of epilepsy care, both locally in Northern California and nationally. The program is pioneering several initiatives:

• Epilepsy Inpatient Unit: Offering the most pediatric epilepsy monitoring units for video EEG in Northern California.
• Laser-Guided Surgery: One of only 20 centers in the U.S. to provide this less-invasive surgical technique.
• Clinical Research and Psychological Testing: Ongoing studies in surgical and pharmacological interventions.
• Parent Support Group: Providing essential support for families navigating epilepsy care.

Paul Martin’s American Bistro: A Commitment to Quality

Paul Martin’s American Bistro, open from 10 AM to 9 PM on November 20th, offers brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Why Your Support Matters

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.4 million people in the United States, including 470,000 children. Despite its prevalence, epilepsy research and support programs often lack sufficient funding. By participating in this event, you contribute to essential services and innovative treatments that can significantly improve the quality of life for those affected by epilepsy.

Interesting Statistics

• Prevalence: About 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lives (Epilepsy Foundation).
• Economic Impact: The annual cost of epilepsy in the U.S. is estimated to be $15.5 billion in direct and indirect costs (CDC).
• Treatment Gap: Nearly 1 in 3 people with epilepsy live with uncontrolled seizures because no available treatment works for them (WHO).
