An estimated 600,000 Californians are infected with HCV.Hepatitis C
impacts their families and friends.

Our mission to assist our fellow Californians and fellow citizens is:  
The HCV prevention and control vision is a coordinated local and
statewide effort, supported by public and private partnerships that
provide comprehensive science-based HCV services that assure:

·        Affordable and accessible HCV counseling, screening, education, treatment, harm reduction and
prevention efforts to all persons in need;

·        Educated patients, providers, policy makers and the public about HCV;

·        Needed HCV data is collected, analyzed, and disseminated;

·        Support for HCV related research; and

·        A reduction in the number of new HCV infections and HCV related deaths and quality of life
improvement for those with persons with HCV infections.

Recently members of the task force participated in a Unity Rally in Sacramento to share information
with our elected officials in Sacramento about our shared concerns. 
Your financial support is needed to enable us to continue our efforts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is required to have membership in The California Hepatitis
C Task Force?

If you are a member of a company, agency, foundation, non-profit, professional corporation that has an interest in the welfare and service to patients with hepatitis or can participate by partnering
in your local community, then you or your organization qualifies to join.

What obligation do member organizations assume?

They must be willing to work together with other organizations as a task force, consortium or collaborative effort thus adding resources to improve on this issue. The key being teamwork.

Can individuals join?

Generally this is not a patient forum of individuals or think tank for persons to discuss issues of the day but rather an action group where plans and programs are established for the benefit of the community. A representative from the local support group would be an asset and a necessary part of this effort. The key being that the representative acts as an agent and brings to the table the resources of their agency, group and leadership.
