Eighth Annual
B
Informed Patient Conference
June 27-28, 2008
Los Angeles, California
The Hepatitis B Foundation is pleased to sponsor the 8th annual B Informed Patient Conference, which continues to be the only national conference of its kind. The conference will be held at St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, in collaboration with the Hepatitis B Information & Support List and the Asian Pacific Liver Center.
Last year almost 200 patients and family members gathered to attend the informative and highly supportive two day conference that focused on the care and management of chronic hepatitis B. Through presentations by experts in the field, interactive Q&A sessions, and multiple workshop sessions, participants learn to live more successfully with chronic hepatitis B and gain new friends at the same time!
