Our Volunteers

Introduction

The Canadian Hemophilia Society, Manitoba Chapter Inc. (CHS-MC) is a grassroots, not-for-profit organization that was formalized in 1965 and incorporated in 1979. The Chapter was initially created to support individuals and families managing Hemophilia, an inherited bleeding disorder. The organization has grown to embrace all inherited bleeding disorders, the greatest addition being those affected by a more common disorder, Von Willebrand’s disease.

Values

As a grassroots organization, none of our program or services would be possible without the time, energy and talents of our volunteers. Since volunteer contributions are vital to the work of the chapter and the contribution volunteers make to the CHS-MC should be both recognized and valued, CHS-MC is committed to the development of further policies and procedures to encourage this good practice.

Mission

The mission of CHS-MC is to: “improve the quality of life for those affected by hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders through support, service,research, education and advocacy.”
