Meet the Experts

Hepatitis C Mentor and Support Group was founded to address the lack of education and supportive services for people living with Hepatitis C and/or co infected with HIV. The founder is a Hepatitis C patient and advocate. To address these needs, we provide resources and services to community organizations, syringe exchange programs, clinics, and hospitals. HCMSG  conducts an array of programming geared towards enhancing the degree to which patients, healthcare providers and community based service providers can manage and treat.Because syndemics are interconnected, education and supportive services on substance use and infectious disease are more important than ever.
