After a long and successful history, the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario became Hydrocephalus Canada in November of 2017. We transitioned to an organization with a national mandate and responsibilities to a much larger community.
Hydrocephalus Canada supports four areas of influence: awareness, education, support and research. We are leading the efforts to increase awareness and prevent hydrocephalus and spina bifida. We develop education resources and support tools for individuals and families affected by the conditions, caregivers and healthcare professionals. We create solutions that support prevention, facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and access to appropriate treatment, advancement of new treatments and optimal outcomes and fund meaningful, impactful research.
Hydrocephalus Canada is the voice of Canadians living with hydrocephalus and spina bifida. We empower those impacted by these conditions to experience the best life possible. We do this by establishing environments that protect, support and enhance the lives of those living with, or at risk of developing, hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
