Hepatitis Education, Advocacy & Leadership (HEAL)
The viral hepatitis policy coalition CANN has convened since 2012.
HEAL focuses on viral hepatitis policy across the United States — HCV elimination strategy, screening and treatment access, Medicaid and ADAP formulary coverage for hepatitis C, and the federal and state programs that determine whether elimination targets are reachable.
Member organizations include patient advocacy groups, AIDS service organizations supporting HIV/HCV co-infected populations, community health centers, and the broader viral hepatitis coalition working toward elimination.
A working group, not a paywall
HEAL was a paid-membership coalition for more than a decade. It isn't anymore. The information and analysis HEAL circulates exists to inform the people working toward viral hepatitis elimination — and gating that behind dues works against the goal.
The coalition is now open access. No fees, no tiers, no qualification process.
What members receive
Policy intelligence. Updates on federal and state activity affecting viral hepatitis programs — regulatory action, legislative movement, screening and treatment coverage decisions — delivered through the HEAL newsletter and periodic policy calls.
Curated news. A monthly digest of the most relevant viral hepatitis coverage, including HIV/HCV co-infection developments and updates from elimination-focused organizations across the country.
Network and convening. Periodic calls connecting patient advocacy groups, AIDS service organizations, community health centers, and the broader viral hepatitis coalition working on elimination. The coalition exists to keep people aligned across an unusually fragmented policy field.
