Join the Hydrocephalus Patient Registry
Over 800 individuals have joined HAPPIER, the nation's first Hydrocephalus Patient-Powered Registry. HAPPIER was created for patients and caregivers to provide input about how hydrocephalus impacts their daily life. The information collected will help paint a clearer picture of the condition and inform critical research.
