Mission Statement
Hydrocephalus Canada ( formerly the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario SB&H), is committed to empowering people impacted by hydrocephalus and spina bifida to experience their best life.
About This Cause
We are a national charity supported by a strong community of Canadians impacted by the complex neurological conditions of hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida. Our goal is to ultimately have a world where no one else is diagnosed with these conditions. We will accomplish this by bringing together experts, fostering research, finding champions and sponsors, and never giving up hope. We are also passionate about improving the quality of health care, resources, and support networks for all living with hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida- so that while we work toward our goal, our communities are supported to live their lives to the fullest. Hydrocephalus Canada provides a comprehensive and essential range of services for parents, families, youth and adults with the conditions. Our programs are rooted in the principles of self-help and personal support. We also serve the broader community which includes: parents who receive pre-natal diagnosis of either condition; extended family members; all women of child-bearing age about the benefits of folic acid in the prevention of neural tube defects; and a wide spectrum of professionals in the social services, medical, health and education fields. The strength of the organization is a vital network of dedicated volunteers.
