Hep B United
Hep B United, a national coalition co-founded and co-chaired by AAPCHO and the Hepatitis B Foundation, addresses the public health challenge of hepatitis B through national advocacy and direct support to local community organizations in the United States. Over one million Asian Americans are living with chronic hepatitis B infection, representing more than half of all cases of hepatitis B in the U.S. Hep B United strives for the elimination of hepatitis B and strives to increase hepatitis B awareness, screening, vaccination and linkage to care for all high-risk communities.
