Hepatitis C is known as the Silent Killer. There are at least 5 million people in the United States with Hepatitis C, however, only 1 million have been diagnosed. H.E.A.L.S of North GA holds a support group meeting each month for liver patients and their families. Limited funds are available for Hepatitis Support, Awareness and Education, so through H.E.A.L.S we try to reach out to the general public for charity $$ in order to hold free Hepatitis C screenings and testings and provide educational materials to the public at health fairs and other events.
