This brief review summarizes presentations and discussion from the Health Disparities Special Interest Group held in December 2024 at the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting. The session addressed known health disparities in pediatric and adult epilepsy at a national and global level. The goal of the session was not just to present the known inequities, but to also propose ideas and work together toward improving healthcare for all. Invited speakers work directly with at-risk communities in the United States and abroad and shared their experiences on how we can do better. This piece is intended to provide a brief overview of the talks given by the invited speakers and to put it all together with the goal of achieving better epilepsy care for all by working together.
