HSC is the only nation-wide health charity dedicated to providing help and hope for families living with Huntington disease in Canada.
Huntington Society of Canada
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 HD. At the Huntington Society of Canada (HSC), we understand what you are going through, whether you have the disease yourself, are caring for someone with HD, are gene positive 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 Huntington disease (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.
