The Hepatitis C Mentor and Support Group’s mission is to empower individuals and communities to become their own agents of change. We provide education and supportive services for anyone affected by Hepatitis C and living with both HCV & HIV.

We are dedicated to eliminating Hepatitis C and addressing healthcare inequities through partnerships with clinics, hospitals and any community based organizations in need of our services. We value the wisdom of communities and strive to serve populations who have been most neglected and harmed by current and historic systems.​​

Hepatitis C (HCV) is a bloodborne viral infection that affects the liver. ​It is primarily spread through contact with infected blood. If left untreated it can lead to serious complications, including cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, and even death. There is a Cure for HCV. We want to ensure that everyone is educated and gets tested.
