HSC Fact Sheets

In an effort to expand our services to HD families, and to the general public, the following publications are available to download. The Huntington Society is a charitable organization dependent on public support. A donation of any amount to the Society would help us to continue to make publications such as the fact sheets listed here available to the public. 

We have listed our most popular fact sheets to start, and then in alphabetical order by topic after that. You can access the fact sheets by clicking on the link below the topic.

When printing a fact sheet, select “Fit” under “Page Sizing & Handling” so the edges of the fact sheet do not get cut off by your printer.

Please note that we are currently in the process of translating all HSC fact sheets to the French language, with the goal of having most available by April 2020.
