Our History
PEP Jobs was started in 2006 through a partnership between CPMC’s epilepsy program and the California Department of Rehabilitation. Today, we’re proud to support people with seizure disorders and brain injuries as they get ready for work and find meaningful jobs. We work closely with the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, UCSF Medical Center, Stanford Medical Center and the Marin Brain Injury Network to make this possible.
How You Can Help
You can help support free job placement services for people with brain injuries and epilepsy. Join our community of support by making a tax-deductible contribution through the CPMC Foundation or with an online gift. Or more information about donating to PEP Jobs, reach out via phone or email.
