Immunodeficiency Canada Social Work Network
A network of social workers across Canada has been created who work with patients diagnosed with Primary Immunodeficiency. The focus of the network is on support programs, education, and research. The network will explore patient support programs including funding, programs, and grants available. They will also work to develop resource materials specific to the care and treatment of patients and families both nationally and provincially.
