Who Are We?

Family is at the heart of our community. Our families and volunteers tell a powerful story of caring people who pull together to improve the quality of life of Canadians impacted by Huntington disease (HD). At the HSC, we work with individuals who have HD, as well as people who are caring for someone with HD, are gene positive or gene negative or are at-risk of inheriting HD. We are a not-for-profit charitable organization which raises funds to deliver counselling and other support services to individuals and families living with HD. We fund peer reviewed medical research leading to treatments and we work with health and social services professionals to enable them to better serve people living with HD.
