Community Membership

The ILC Foundation’s  Community Membership is to provide educational resources to help Canadians living with EDS, HSD, HCTD and Chronic Pain to create a balance between school, work, self-care and leisure activities. We know that living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, its related conditions including chronic pain can be isolating and difficult to manage. The following resources are meant to assist members in their self-advocacy needs for access to care for themselves or for family members.

If you are an individual or are a care person of an individual that lives with Ehlers Danlos Syndromes, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, Heritable Connective Tissue Disorders and/or Chronic Pain, become an Individual Member and be part of this cause.

Please email: Jacqueline@theilcfoundation.org to sign up for Membership.
