About us

The Swiss Huntington Association (SHV) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the lives of all those affected by Huntington’s Disease (HD). Founded in 1989, it has over 400 members who are supported by medical, legal and psychosocial advisors. We organise regular outings, lectures and support group meetings.  By sharing information and expertise, we aim to provide encouragement, comfort and practical guidance for those who are living with HD or at risk of HD, as well as their loved ones and carers.  

The SHV is a member of the International Huntington’s Association (IHA) and the European Huntington Association (EHA), through which we are always informed of news and research developments from around the world. 

New members are always warmly welcome.
