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.
We know many of you are eager to get started on your fundraising and team building now, but we are working hard over the coming months on creating an all-new, first-class online experience for the STROLL. As we continue to adapt to our new virtual world, we can’t wait to unveil this new platform that will help all of us fulfill our mission of bringing liver research to life.
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.
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.
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.
