Help Raise Awareness

Over 1 million Americans are living with hydrocephalus, yet the condition remains relatively unknown among the general public. Help us change that by raising your voice on social media!

Hydrocephalus is not as widely known as other health conditions -- even those with smaller incidence numbers! That's why we need YOUR HELP to spread awareness about this complex condition. Let's bring hydrocephalus out of the shadows!
