Hepatitis Education Project

Description

By making information, resources, and health services readily available for people affected by hepatitis, HEP strives to realize its vision of a world where everybody has access to affordable, high-quality care to support all their health needs. Founded in 1993 by a coalition of clinicians and patients, HEP has grown from a small group of volunteers to a staff of 19. Today, HEP still provides free hepatitis screening and vaccines, but its services now include a needle exchange, low-barrier prescriptions for buprenorphine, anonymous drug testing for participants, and medical case management for hepatitis C treatment.
