A Model for Involving the Community in Hepatitis Healthcare

Many of the 250,000 Asian Americans in San Francisco are chronic HBV carriers or are unvaccinated and at risk, particularly those who are first-generation immigrants or who were born before the mandatory vaccination of newborn infants. For a variety of reasons, screening, vaccinating, and treating this population continue to present challenges to the healthcare community. Join Dr. Robert Gish as he talks with Mr. Ted Fang, a Co-Founder and Steering Committee Member of the San Francisco Hep B Free campaign, to learn more about an innovative and successful community-initiated model for improving access to HBV healthcare services, particularly in the Asian-American community.
