So you want to end viral hepatitis in your city/county/state/nation? GREAT! But what’s the first step? This workshop will look at specific local, county, and state efforts to combat viral hepatitis, and how leveraging a collaborative coalition approach can be a model for success when designing and implementing hepatitis elimination plans and other hepatitis programs. While this workshop will be fairly hepatitis-specific, strategies discussed are applicable for those interested in other grassroots, policy, and infectious disease coalition building.
