HEPATITIS C Care and Treatment
Hepatitis C (Hep C) is a disease of the liver that can cause serious health problems, including liver failure and liver cancer. It can spread when blood from a person with the Hep C virus enters the body of someone uninfected. With the correct treatment, Hep C is curable. The treatment for Hep C can be as simple as taking a pill daily for as little as two months. Our Nurse Practitioners are Hepatitis C Specialists and provide comprehensive care and treatment for individuals with Hep C.

Testing for Hep C is recommended for people who:

• have EVER injected drugs, even if it was just once or many years ago 
• received donated blood or organs before 1992 
• have certain medical conditions, such as HIV/AIDS 
• have been exposed to blood from a person who has Hep C 
• are healthcare workers exposed to a needle prick
• were born to a mother with Hep C 
• were born from 1945 – 1965
