Viral Hepatitis
We hate Cancer and the destruction that it causes in our lives and in our communities. We donate monies to fund research and education. We volunteer our time and our voice to support policy and systems changes that reduce the burden of Cancer in our communities. We focus our expertise and passion on this issue.
Since we find organic chemistry uninteresting and policy fascinating, we decided to focus our work on policy changes and rulemaking governing Viral Hepatitis generally and hepatitis B virus (HBV) specifically.
Did you know that one in ten Asian Americans are chronically infected with HBV? Of those, one in four of them, if left untreated, will die from Liver Cancer or liver disease. Did you know that there is a test for HBV, that there are vaccines, and that there is treatment? Too many people do not know this and we can change that.
We work to develop and support mass vaccination and screening initiatives. We do this work based upon a sliding fee scale. We hate Cancer and the destruction that it causes in our lives and in our communities. Let us work together on this issue.
