SHARE YOUR STORY!
Have you been affected by hepatitis B or C or know someone who has? We are looking for people who are willing to share their stories to help us raise awareness about how hepatitis impacts the lives of thousands of Philadelphians. You can choose to tell us your story anonymously, or share it openly with community members. Sharing your story will help us show others how common viral hepatitis is and will encourage other Philadelphians to get tested and seek the support they need.
