Huntington's Disease Society of America to conduct a national

and Chief Executive Officer.
About Huntington's Disease Society of America
(HDSA)
The Huntington's Disease Society of America, the premier
nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone
affected by Huntington's disease space, was founded in 1967 by
Marjorie Guthrie, widow of folk legend Woody Guthrie, who succumbed
to Huntington's disease. Initially established as the Committee to
Combat Huntington's Disease (CCHD), the organization became HDSA in
1983. Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic order causing
progressive nerve cell dysfunction and eventual death. HD is
characterized by a triad of symptoms, including progressive motor
dysfunction, behavioral disturbance and cognitive decline. There
are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than
200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease.
Marjorie's vision for HDSA was to provide hope and support to
families affected by HD, advocate for research and treatments, and
raise public awareness. Ending her correspondences with "Love and
Peace", HDSA continues her legacy by funding research, offering
resources and support, and through the HDSA Centers of Excellence
across the country.
Through the dedicated efforts of the HDSA national staff and
network of amazing volunteers who lead chapters and affiliates, the
organization strives to achieve their mission to improve the lives
of everyone affected by Huntington's disease and their families and
to realize their vision of a world free of Huntington's disease.
HDSA funds research with the goal of discovering effective
treatments to slow Huntington's disease and eventually lead to a
cure. The HDSA Centers of Excellence program provides a
multidisciplinary team approach to Huntington's disease care. There
are currently 56 HDSA Centers of Excellence and 11 Partner Sites
covering 36 States plus the District of Columbia.
