As a person in long-term recovery, Carla's work is deeply personal. PAHRN works to ensure people who use drugs are treated with dignity and have access to life-saving resources, while addressing critical public health issues such as hepatitis C prevention, liver health, overdose prevention, and access to care.

Carla believes that harm reduction is healthcare and that reducing stigma is essential to improving health outcomes. Through partnerships, education, and advocacy, PAHRN is helping build more equitable systems of care where individuals can access support without barriers or judgment.

As we wrap up Hepatitis Awareness Month, it’s important to remember that viral hepatitis continues to disproportionately impact Hispanic and Latino communities, where barriers to awareness, screening, diagnosis, and treatment can contribute to delayed care and poorer health outcomes. National Hispanic Hepatitis Awareness Day was created to help shine a light on these disparities, promote testing and vaccination, and encourage culturally responsive education and community engagement.

At the Community Liver Alliance, we believe awareness is the first step toward prevention, early detection, and better liver health for all. Together, we can help reduce stigma, expand access to care, and ensure that every community has the resources and information needed to protect their health. πŸ’š

Exciting news in the fight against chronic hepatitis B. GSK announced new data showing that bepirovirsen achieved functional cure rates in patients with chronic hepatitis B, representing a significant step forward in a disease area where treatment has traditionally required lifelong management. Researchers and advocates across the liver community are hopeful that advances like this could help transform future care and improve outcomes for millions of people worldwide living with hepatitis B. πŸ’™

At the Community Liver Alliance, we remain committed to raising awareness, supporting patients, and sharing important developments in liver health research. Progress like this highlights why continued investment in education, advocacy, research, and early detection matters.
