Early diagnosis

For too many Canadians with neuromuscular disorders, the journey to diagnosis is long and uncertain. Our focus on early diagnosis aims to change that, opening the door to treatment, clinical trials and better care.

Access to treatments

Innovative treatments are revolutionizing the outlook for neuromuscular disorders. But they are meaningless if the people who need them can’t access them.

Accessibility and inclusivity

True inclusion means a society where people with neuromuscular disorders can live with dignity, independence and opportunity. We’re helping to make this a reality through our programming and by influencing policies that will help our community to thrive.
