Virginia HEPC: Hepatitis C Education & Patient Connection
An innovative network is expanding patient access to hepatitis C treatment options across Virginia.
Hepatitis C Education and Patient Connection (HEPC) is a network dedicated to increasing knowledge, facilitating access to care by reducing barriers, building capacity for local hepatitis C treatment through training, and ensuring equitable access to hepatitis C treatment across Virginia. HEPC focuses on equity in rural geographic areas, decreasing stigmas associated with current or past substance use and including those who are justice-involved.

““Me being in this program and getting into treatment gave me my confidence back. I went from being depressed to feeling like I was getting my life back. I’m very grateful for the program and don’t know where I would be without it. Thank you.””

““The hepatitis C Program is my favorite program. I love to see how it changes people’s lives. The happiness on their faces is like no other. In the area I live in, they may have never had a chance of a cure if this program had not started. I try to help families as much as I can to have a second chance.””
