Advocacy
The Hepatitis B Foundation (HBF) is actively working on important state and federal patient advocacy initiatives to advance hepatitis B as an urgent public health priority. Through successful partnerships with federal, state and local agencies, and other nonprofit organizations and the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable, we are able to more effectively leverage our efforts and maximize our resources to ensure that hepatitis B will not be forgotten or overlooked.
Learn more about what we are doing, and help us raise the national profile of hepatitis B to help the 2 million Americans … and the 400 million people worldwide … living with chronic hepatitis B!
