On July 29th and 30th 2019 NVHR held a first-of-its-kind hepatitis C Patient Summit in Atlanta, GA. Nearly 100 hepatitis C survivors came together from almost every state across the country to share their stories, learn new advocacy skills, and identify opportunities to improve hepatitis prevention, screening, treatment access, and elimination policy. The patient voice is central to NVHR’s mission as a national coalition working to eliminate hepatitis B and C in the United States. The Patient Summit served as a launch pad for an engaged network of patient advocates to mobilize and fight to together to end hepatitis C in every state, and nationwide.
