Funding for liver research is crucial. Every development today will have a tremendous and exponential impact on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cures for liver disease in the future.
1 in 4 Canadians – men, women and children – may be affected by liver disease. As a healthcare professional, you want access to reliable information and resources to help you and your patients.
We partner with professional associations, academic and research institutions, hospitals, government agencies and others to assist in the provision of evidence-based information, practical tools and resources.
Every year, hundreds of Canadians rally together and join the Stroll for Liver. We do this to help raise awareness and vital funds to propel life-changing research forward. We do this to help find cures and better treatment options for the people who need help right now. And we do this to make sure that anybody living with a liver disease in Canada can access the support they deserve.
We are here to help. Contact us today or reach out directly to one of our regional offices.
The liver is a resilient organ that’s easy to ignore – until something goes wrong. Because of its wide-ranging responsibilities, your healthy liver can come under attack by viruses, toxic substances, contaminants and diseases. However, even when under siege, the liver is very slow to complain.
People who have problems with their liver are frequently unaware because they may have few, if any, symptoms. Your liver is such a determined organ that it will continue working even when two-thirds of it has been damaged.

Statistics show that liver disease is on the rise. 1 in 4 Canadians may be affected by liver disease, including everyone from newborns to older adults.
The Canadian Liver Foundation relies on support from caring individuals, community-minded corporations, and foundations to continue funding life-saving liver research as well as patient support and education.
