HepB United

Mission

Hep B United is a national coalition to address the public health challenge of hepatitis B, the leading cause of liver cancer and a major health disparity among Asian Americans. Our goal is to support and leverage the success of local community coalitions across the U.S. to increase hepatitis B awareness, screening, vaccination and linkage to care for all Americans, but in particular, for high-risk Asian and Pacific Islander populations who are disproportionately impacted.

Goals

The goals of Hep B United and the local campaigns are to:

Raise the profile of hepatitis B and liver cancer as an urgent public health priority
Increase hepatitis B testing and vaccination, particularly among Asian Americans and other at-risk communities
Improve access to care and treatment for individuals living with hepatitis B to prevent end-stage liver disease and liver cancer
