CCSVI ONTARIO - MISSION STATEMENT CCSVI Ontario promotes education, awareness and advocacy about CCSVI. CCSVI Ontario provides objective information and fosters communication and collaboration amongst people with CCSVI, the general public, CCSVI advocates, healthcare professionals, federal and provincial governments and medical associations. WHO WE ARE CCSVI Ontario is organized by and for people who have CCSVI, or who are interested in CCSVI, their families and friends. Our experiences and our research of the science available to date make us committed to exploring CCSVI. Some of us have been tested and know we have CCSVI but have not yet been treated. Many of us have been tested and have been treated at centres outside Canada at great personal expense. We are committed • to disseminating information on CCSVI, • to organizing, or helping local groups to organize, CCSVI information sessions, • to informing people about CCSVI, • to advocating on behalf of people who want testing and treatment for CCSVI in Canada, • to engaging healthcare professionals and governments with a focus on federal and provincial health policy makers, • to assisting people with CCSVI to acquire the tools necessary to make informed decisions about their health and treatment.
