Comments:

Our group is made up of Hep C POSITIVE people, and the people that love us. It is our objective to educate ourselves and others about Hepatitis C, and to support everyone whose life is touched by this disease. It doesn't matter how you contracted this virus, as we do not stereotype. We are united in our fight against Hepatitis C. Our meeting format varies according to need. We sometimes have guest speakers such as Drs or social workers to teach us how to live our lives to the fullest. Knowledge is power! Current and future treatment options are brought to light. Other times we have an "open forum", where we talk about our feelings, and offer each other love and hope. We believe in healing the spirit as well as the body. Please join us!
