We provide support, networking for developing, and existing community organizations, reinforcing local efforts for better access, affordability and quality of care for those affected with viral hepatitis. Get involved. Take Action. Our Mission: The California Hepatitis C Task Force mission is to drive policy that removes barriers to viral hepatitis treatments and promote best practices for the delivery of evidence based treatments for viral hepatitis by raising awareness, promoting partnerships and mobilizing resources to improve viral hepatitis education, prevention, screening, and reporting. What We Do: We provide support, networking for developing, and existing community organizations, reinforcing local efforts for better access to care for those affected with viral hepatitis. Advocacy: We act as a common voice for hepatitis patients on the local, state and federal level. We passionately take policy positions which favor patients and their access to care. We use grassroots support to drive legislation that puts patients' care first. Our drive for research and policy improvements are for viral hepatitis treatment, prevention and vaccines. The considerable momentum generated by robust activism and advocacy catapulted the California Hepatitis C Task Force into a formidable position for advancing important policy priorities. Research: We develop models and improve existing viral hepatitis prevention, education, treatment, testing and reporting practices that support the delivery of evidence based treatments for viral hepatitis. Collaboration & Partnerships: We bring together concerned citizens, patients, health leaders and stakeholders to form community partnerships. This is an endeavor to bring services to those affected by viral hepatitis, enhance access to care and drive public health reform.
