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 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.
