Hepatitis C and Local Health Departments Educational Series

Local health departments are positioned to provide support to impacted populations by offering leadership, assistance, and new opportunities across the continuum of HCV prevention, care, and treatment. Nevertheless, while vital, the critical role they play in preventing, screening and linking people to care for HCV comes at a cost, and local health departments' resources and capacities to address HCV are limited.
To support local health departments and their partners, NACCHO developed an educational series to increase knowledge of HCV-related topics, provide information and examples of how local health departments can leverage existing resources to address HCV, and share successful local health department practices and policies for expanding HCV-related services in their communities. The two-module series, which includes webcasts (pre-recorded lectures), discussion guides, and supporting resources and tools, provides foundational knowledge of HCV and offers strategies for increasing local capacity along the HCV care continuum.
