Covid-19 Information for the Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida Community

Hydrocephalus Canada understands that this is a challenging time for our community with the fast changing situation surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are taking measures to help reduce the potential exposure risks and to help prevent the spread of the virus. The office is closed to visitors and will remain so until further notice. Staff will be available to answer emails and social media requests. Please allow 24 hours for us to return any phone call messages. We are committed to keeping our social media channels up-to-date on event and service changes in a timely manner.
The well-being of the hydrocephalus and spina bifida community is importance to us and will continue to be moving forward.
