HSC Partnership


The Huntington Society of Canada is working in partnership with other neurological health charities (Neurological Health Charities Canada (NHCC)to advocate for increased knowledge and support for individuals living with a neurological disease. Recently, a joint meeting was held with the NHCC and representatives of the Government of Ontario to begin to develop a strategy to improve supports and services in this province. Meetings between the NHCC and key government departments, lead by the Department of Health will be happening in the near future to flesh out next steps.

Consultation on Neurological Conditions in Canada
In Canada, there is a lack of information about the extent and impact of neurological conditions (brain and nervous system diseases, disorders, conditions and injuries). This makes it difficult to plan effective policy, programs and investments. Neurological Health Charities Canada (NHCC) is committed to working towards filling this gap in information, and we are asking you to take a few minutes to express your views on what type of information you feel would be important to collect.

NHCC is a collective of organizations that represent people with chronic, often progressive, brain and nervous system diseases, disorders and injuries in Canada. Collaborating with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), we are considering what information is needed about the frequency of occurrence and the impact of diseases, disorders and injuries of the brain and nervous system. Your input is very important to us.
