Health Organizations and Associations

The Canadian Diabetes Association is a leading expert and authority on diabetes in Canada – and around the world. We have a heritage of excellence and leadership that started with our co-founder and co-discoverer of insulin, Dr. Charles Best. Since that time, we have continued to deliver programs and services for people affected by diabetes. We fund leading-edge diabetes research and produce globally recognized diabetes guidelines. We advocate on behalf of those affected and share the latest information with the public and the healthcare community.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation, a volunteer-based health charity, leads in eliminating heart disease and stroke and reducing their impact through the advancement of research and its application, the promotion of healthy living and advocacy.
