Two Hep Free NYC groups focused on reaching people — one bringing the coalition's partners together around the hepatitis awareness calendar, the other coordinating clinical education for providers across New York State.

The Awareness Day Planning Committee develops the Hep Free NYC outreach strategy by planning, promoting and hosting events that bring together our network of partners.

Awareness Calendar

The committee organizes commemorations throughout the year, including:

• May Hepatitis Awareness Month
• May15 National Hispanic Hepatitis Awareness Day
• May19 National Hepatitis Testing Day
• Jul26 African American Hepatitis C Action Day
• Jul28 World Hepatitis Day
• Sep9 NAIRHHA DayNational African Immigrant and Refugee HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis Awareness Day

The NY Hep Clinical Education Collaborative works to optimize hepatitis B and C clinical education opportunities across New York State.

Our Goals

1. Increase communication and sharing of educational resources, so clinical education for hepatitis providers grows more efficiently and effectively.
2. Maintain a list of resources outlining the training activities each participating organization provides.
3. Provide a forum for planning new training initiatives, reviewing calendars and finding strategies to make the best use of shared resources.
4. Create opportunities to review or conduct needs assessments, so the collaborative can respond to the changing needs of the clinical provider community.
