Located in British Columbia, InspireHealth is Canada's foremost integrated cancer care centre, leading the way through research and innovative cancer care programs integrated with conventional cancer treatment. Since 1997, InspireHealth's medical doctors have helped guide more than 7,000 patients to integrate research-informed natural approaches to health into their cancer treatment and recovery. There is growing evidence that these natural approaches to supporting health and immune system function can significantly decrease the risk of cancer recurrence and increase survival.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation is one of Canada’s largest and most effective health charities. Over the last 60 years we have invested more than $1.39 billion in heart and stroke research, making us the largest contributor in Canada after the federal government. In that time, the death rate from heart disease and stroke has declined by more than 75 per cent.
The Foundation’s health promotion and advocacy programs across the country are saving lives every day. Working together, our employees, volunteers, donors and world-class researchers have made the Heart and Stroke Foundation what we are today: Canada’s most widely recognized and trusted authority on cardiovascular health. Our mission is to create healthy lives free of heart disease and stroke. Together, we will make it happen.
Liver disease affects children, women and men with equal and sometimes fatal consequences. Today, 1 in 4 Canadians may be affected by liver disease and many don’t even know it. Tragically, by the time liver disease is detected it is often too late as severe liver damage has already occurred.
Founded in 1969, the Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) was the first organization in the world devoted to providing support for research and education into the:
- Causes
- Diagnoses
- Prevention
- Treatment of all liver diseases.
The CLF is the only non-government organization funding all forms of liver disease research in Canada; unfortunately in any given year we are only able to fund 20% of all qualified research grant applications we receive.
Imagine, if any of those unfunded projects had the answers to early diagnosis, treatment or the cures we are looking for. We are looking for passionate volunteers to join our effort in raising awareness of liver disease, as well as funds to deliver:
- Free public education programs
- Support life-saving research.
SRABC is a non-profit organization. They've been providing information and programs for stroke survivors in BC, after they leave hospital, since 1979.
