Since 1990 when the Canadian Addison Society was founded, the membership has grown from 13 to over 200 members.
Considering that health statistics suggest only one per 100,000 people are diagnosed with Addison's Disease,
it is difficult to establish contact with other Addisonians. As with other diseases, it is important and comforting
to be able to talk to others with the same disease.
The primary purpose of our site is to offer information about Addison's Disease. Through our various support
groups, we have contacts who may be able to provide information to the many questions a newly diagnosed
Addisonian might have; as well as the opportunity of personal contact with somebody who has experienced
some of the concerns associated with the disease. Our third goal is to help educate not only the medical
society but also the public to aspects of the disease.
The Canadian Addison Society (La Société canadienne d'Addison) is designated as a registered charitable organization
under the Income Tax Act of Canada by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), # 87248 5511 RR0001.
Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $10.00 or more and should be mailed c/o the Treasurer, Canadian Addison Society, 193 Elgin Avenue West, Goderich ON N7A 2E7.
