We the founders, associates, delegates and members of the
CAHCVTF believe and encourage the following basic principles
to hold true in the fight to prevent, identify,control, educate,
provide support, treat and enable a cure for Hepatitis C for all
California residents. Californians from all walks of life,
regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity,language,
income, profession, sexual orientation, mental or physical
impairment or disability, inmates, persons in recovery,homeless,
active military service and veterans, hold to be true that
a community response in the form of partnerships with public
health departments, service agencies, community foundations,
churches, health or medical providers, qualified HCV and health
educators,local corporations, small businesses, legislative
advocacy and health policy foundations, professional medical
associations, labor organizations, city, county, state and federal
offices is the necessaryand required action to responsibly
eradicate this disease as a major health epidemic in the
State of California. Therefore, we are at the crossroads, we
will make a difference and truly are partnerships
facing this challenge now and for future generations!
