About Us
The Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS) was founded in 1953 by a committed group of individuals (hemophiliacs and parents). Through their tireless efforts, the CHS quickly developed from a small Montréal-based support group to a national organization with chapters in each province. Today, in addition to the national office, provincial and regional offices play an important role in delivering services at the grassroots level.
From the beginning, Frank Schnabel, the founder of CHS, and other interested individuals and physicians dedicated their efforts towards ensuring that adequate supplies of hemophilic clotting factors and effective treatment were available across the country. As a result, there now are 25 hemophilia comprehensive care clinics throughout Canada.
