A New Diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease

It’s a shock when families learn that Huntington’s disease is in their family.  I remember in 1978 when my three (3) sisters-in-law, Lora, Marcia and Cindy found their mother’s death certificate from Napa State Hospital and the underlying cause of death was Huntington’s chorea.

HDSA Social Workers are often the first voice that someone new to #HuntingtonsDisease may hear. #SocialWorkers offer information, education & access to community-based services within a specific region.  Lisa Kjer-Mooney at HDSA UC Davis Center of Excellence is an awesome social worker that can help you find resources and support in Northern California.
