About HDSA Centers of Excellence
The HDSA Centers of Excellence provide an elite team approach to Huntington’s disease care and research. Patients benefit from expert neurologists, psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, counselors and other professionals who have extensive experience working with families affected by HD and who work collaboratively to help families plan the best HD care program throughout the course of the disease. Applications to become an HDSA Center of Excellence are open to all clinics in the United States who share HDSA’s commitment to high-quality, comprehensive care and access to clinical research. There are currently 54 HDSA Centers of Excellence covering 35 States plus the District of Columbia.
HDSA is now accepting Letters of Interest for 2022 Centers of Excellence. This year, HDSA will be accepting LOIs from current HDSA Centers of Excellence that are seeking re-designation for 2022 and clinics that were not HDSA Centers of Excellence in 2021 and are located more than 250 miles from an existing Center of Excellence.
