« ON THE COVER:
NATALIA VILCHES SALAS
SANTIAGO, CHILE
VALCOTE ER
Civil Engineering student Natalia Vilches Salas ( front)
doesn’t let epilepsy stand in the way of her active life and
busy school schedule. She takes Abbott’s Valcote to help
control her symptoms, allowing her to pursue the things she
loves, like playing the guitar, hiking the Andes Mountains
and kayaking with her friend, Daniela Palma Carrasco.
