Resources to Support Viral Hepatitis Community Action
HHS recognizes that there is deep commitment from a wide range of stakeholders to accelerate progress in addressing viral hepatitis in the United States and that many innovative efforts are taking place all across the country. These contributions to our national response are vital. Winning the fight against viral hepatitis will require the action of all parts of society—federal, state, tribal, and local governments; nongovernmental organizations such as health care providers, health systems, payers, community- and faith-based organizations, and academic institutions; advocates, patients, and their families.
The number and type of stakeholders engaged in viral hepatitis have expanded in recent years as awareness has grown and effective tools have become available. Non-federal and community stakeholders bring unique expertise and invaluable knowledge of their communities and constituents. These stakeholders can leverage community capital to help develop holistic responses to viral hepatitis that meet their specific needs. In order to achieve the goals of the Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan, we must encourage and foster such efforts, and work together across all sectors to share expertise, effective strategies, and tools. Supporting the expansion of partnerships and innovation is critical for achieving the Viral Hepatitis Plan’s aim: the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat in the United States.
