Today we announce a new Project Echo program for healthcare providers that will bring treatment and prevention best practices for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) to non-liver experts. The Liver Health ECHO Program is a virtual community of practice developed to equip healthcare providers with the necessary skills to treat and prevent NAFLD among their patients. Within this network, participants will gain support and mentorship, enhance their skills, and connect with leaders in the field all at no cost.

There are over 100 types of liver disease, Hepatitis C is one of them. Hepatitis C (HCV) is a common form of viral hepatitis, an infectious liver disease that affects more than 3.4 million Americans. The virus is most often spread through blood-to-blood contact, including intravenous drug use, unprotected sex, and body piercings and tattoos using dirty needles. Hepatitis C is a chronic disease, and often people have few or no symptoms while the virus causes internal damage. A cure for HCV is available, but left untreated, it can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and even death. This World Hepatitis Day, learn about the virus here: https://alf.social/HepC
