We were honored to be part of such an amazing community event. United Liver orchestrated and executed such an impactful community event. We educated over 600 people on liver health and handed out over 300 bundles of P(encils), B(ackpacks) and C(rayons) while educating about . I am blessed to have met so many Spanish speaking patients who had NEVER had liver education or screens. We heard from over a dozen individuals who had all the symptoms of PBC and who had zero idea they needed to have labs; most of them were non English speakers. We also helped host them and PBC patients to a lunch and education/support session courtesy of the PBCers Organization. The community was so supportive and thankful and we reached rural patients who would otherwise never be screened and whom truly needed back to school supplies. To watch Gina Bartes, Kristin Little Hatcher, Laura Bonebrake, Catarra Simmons and the local medical providers interact with so many people and give them hope, really highlighted for us the true impact of being part of a patient run consortia. Thank you to all the sponsors and fellow partners!
In July, United Liver worked alongside trusted local partners to deliver three community-centered liver health programs in Phoenix, Arizona, Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and Tippah County, Mississippi.
These programs brought liver health education, technology-enabled screening, family resources, healthcare navigation, and community services directly to the people.
United Liver worked with local leaders to understand each community’s strengths, healthcare landscape, barriers to care, and existing or missing pathways from screening to follow-up. We worked with communities to identify challenges, activate trusted local resources, and create real solutions.
The result:
✅ 3 community programs
✅ 1,360+ people served
✅ 200+ noninvasive liver screenings
✅ All completed in less than two weeks
This is the speed, scale, and community-centered impact United Liver was created to deliver.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the residents, the volunteers and healthcare professionals who gave their time, and the local organizations that shared their trust and knowledge.
Special thanks to our volunteers, partners, and sponsors whose support helped turn community priorities into action.
Stay tuned for highlights from each of these high-impact community programs!
