Advocacy Organizations That Serve the MG Community in Canada

Discover some of the organizations dedicated to providing support to the myasthenia gravis (MG) community.

Patient advocacy organizations can be a welcome resource for people living with myasthenia gravis. These organizations can help people with MG and their supporters find resources, access educational materials about MG and become a part of the larger MG community. Often, the organizations are created in a local setting by people whose lives have been directly affected by MG. From small beginnings, some of these organizations have grown into large communities made up of people facing the same challenges as one another. If you’re interested in getting involved, these advocacy organizations may be a good place to start.
