State HBV Coordinators

The CDC has created a national network of State Hepatitis B Coordinators who manage programs to prevent, monitor, and control viral hepatitis. They reach out locally to hospitals, physicians, STD clinics, and drug treatment centers. Many of the Coordinators are trained as nurses, public health professionals, or a combination of the two and usually work out of state or city health departments.

Every state has a Hepatitis B Coordinator, and more than half of the states have a Hepatitis C Coordinator as well.
