About Us
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 is your trusted source for compassionate, progressive and innovative solutions that drive efforts to increase awareness. We support four areas of influence: awareness, education, support and research. We develop education resources and support tools for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals. We create solutions that support prevention, early and accurate diagnosis and access to appropriate treatment, advancement of new treatments and optimal outcomes.
Our Values
We believe everyone affected by hydrocephalus and spina bifida:
- has the right to our attention, compassion and commitment
- requires access to timely, safe and effective care
- benefits from, and offers benefit to, collaborative communities
- deserves to be treated with dignity
- has the responsibility to help others understand hydrocephalus and what it means to live with the condition
