As the complications of Hemochromatosis -- a potentially
fatal disease caused by an iron overload in the body and also
is the most common genetic disorder afflicting Canadians --
are preventable through early diagnosis and treatment, the
activities of the Society are directed towards this end. The
Society maintains a central registry of all known individuals
with Hemochromatosis and their families. Also Provides
information, speakers, Medical Advisory Board, patient
advocacy, and a newsletter which is distributed to medical
professionals and the public world-wide. Membership varies
from $10 to $35 per year. Registered non-profit society.
