About Liver Canada

Liver Canada (LC), formerly the Canadian Liver Foundation, was first established in 1969 out of the passion and concern of a group of business leaders and doctors who believed that liver disease needed a champion. Since then, LC has relentlessly driven advancements in research, treatment, and support.

We remain the only non-governmental organization in Canada focused on liver health, and we’re the main source of non-profit funding for all forms of liver disease.

With the help of donors, volunteers, researchers, health professionals, corporate supporters, and community members, we are changing the future of liver health for those living in Canada.
