The Canadian Liver Foundation acknowledges the following sponsors for their support of the CLF’s mission of “bringing liver research to life” to benefit the liver health of all Canadians through research, education, patient support and advocacy:
SpecialtyRx Solutions
The National Help Line. This help line gives you and your loved one somewhere to turn for answers after diagnosis, helps you understand your disease, and provides you with the resources you need. You can call 1 (800) 563-5483 Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST.
The Peer Support Network. This program is a network of people living with liver disease who have offered to share their experiences with others.
