The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation (French: Fondation Canadienne de la Santé Digestive) or CDHF, is a registered Canadian charity. The organization was founded in 1995 as the Canadian Digestive Disease Foundation and renamed the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation in 2001.[1] The objectives of the Foundation are to educate the general public about digestive disease and nutrition, and to advance the science of gastroenterology by funding medical research.[2] In February 2001, it was officially endorsed as the Foundation for the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology.[3] Since then it has raised and invested more than $1 million to fund Canadian researchers in the field of digestive health.[4]
