About us
As Hydrocephalus Canada celebrates 50 years of service (formerly SB&H), we continue to be committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those impacted by the complex neurological conditions of spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. HC was incorporated as a registered charity in 1973 and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. The organization supports those with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus and their families with the challenges brought on by these serious, disabling conditions. HC has grown to provide a comprehensive and essential range of services for parents, families, youth and adults with sb/h. 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 sb/h; 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. HC receives minimal government funding and generates the majority of its operating revenue through a myriad of fundraising efforts. The strength of the organization is a vital network of dedicated volunteers. For further information please contact HC at info@hydrocephalus.ca
