The Huntington's Disease Society of America
(HDSA) is dedicated to finding
a cure for Huntington's Disease (HD) while providing support and services for those living with HD and their families. HDSA promotes and supports both clinical and basic HD research, aids families in
coping with the multi-faceted problems presented by HD and educates the families, the public and health care professionals
about Huntington's Disease. Our HD families give a face to Huntington's Disease. HDSA
is its voice.
It is our mission to fund research for finding a treatment or cure, provide family care, promote HD awareness, provide
public education, and support patient advocacy for all families who suffer with Huntington's Disease.
The American Institute
of Philanthropy (AIP), a national charity supervisory service that assists donors in making well informed giving decisions,
has designated HDSA as one of the top rated charitable organizations. Ranked with large health organizations, such as the
American Heart Association, and the American Liver Foundation, HDSA was the only health organization to receive an A+ grade.
