The success of hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination in Alabama, as in other Appalachian regions, is heavily dependent on the acknowledgment and incorporation of multi-stakeholder approaches tailored to the unique needs and perspectives of local patient communities. State-level efforts to achieve HCV elimination have been derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Local health care teams can benefit from a detailed assessment of regional patient-, provider-, and system-level needs and the implementation of customized, team-based action plans for tackling across the HCV care continuum.

Don't miss this highly interactive, multi-accredited workshop! A boots-on-the-ground HCV expert will walk interprofessional teams through local patient and provider survey findings and review the latest clinical evidence and guidelines. Participants will be encouraged to:

• Review real-world data to assess local gaps and unmet needs

• Identify action plans to close persistent gaps

• Set benchmarks to ensure the highest quality HCV screening, care, and counseling
