NEUROLOGICAL HEALTH CHARITIES CANADA

Working together to improve the lives of people living with chronic neurological diseases, disorders & injuries in Canada

Mission To improve the quality of life for all persons with chronic brain conditions, and their caregivers, by: elevating brain health to the top of government agendas; increasing awareness and influencing government decision makes regarding brain health.

History In their 2006 publication Neurological disorders: public health challenges, the World Health Organization concluded that “a large body of evidence shows that policymakers and health-care providers,

History may be unprepared to cope with the predicted rise in the prevalence of neurological and other chronic disorders and the disability resulting from the extensions of life expectancy and aging populations globally.”

Vision There is a National Brain Strategy with an evidence-based, multidisciplinary, holistic approach to understanding and addressing brain conditions,

Vision supported by the findings of a national epidemiological study of neurological disease, disorders, conditions and injuries in Canada.

Statistics Brain conditions do not discriminate. They strike men and women, young and old. The resulting burden manifests not only the health of our citizens, but also our communities and social systems, and our economy.

Statistics The enormous burden of these conditions has been seriously underestimated by traditional epidemiological and health statistical methods.

Different ways of participating The NHCC is pleased to post any proposals, projects or studies related to the neurological field. Please forward your posting to us at and type "Posting: Participate" in the subject line.

For more than 35 years, the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario (SB&H) has been committed to making a positive difference in the lives of individuals with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. SB&H was incorporated as a registered charity in 1973 and is governed by a volunteer board of directors.

The genetic nature of Huntington’s puts families at the heart of Huntington disease and the Huntington Society of Canada. As part of this national celebration, send in your stories about how YOU celebrate with YOUR family. We will share your stories with the community.
