“Hepatitis C Virus:  Barriers to Treatment and Community-focused Primary Care

Thursday, May 11, 2023
3:30pm-4:30pm EST

In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ALF [American Liver Foundation] is hosting a webinar for our robust network of liver specialists and public health providers.

We will share recent data indicating that too many Americans remain unaware of their hepatitis C infection and curative treatment continues to be delayed. We will also discuss adult screening recommendations and strategies for addressing gaps in viral hepatitis care.
