For those of you who are just entering into the world of hepatitis, May is national Hepatitis Awareness Month. Perhaps you have been busy this month and are just getting on board. If you are wondering what you can do to make a difference, especially this late in the month, here are a few suggestions:

  • Start a conversation about viral hepatitis.
  • Set and then implement small goals, such as print/order literature that you can give people who may want to know more about viral hepatitis. You can find information at the CDC website, the VA, a number of nonprofits, and Hepmag.com.
  • Do as much social media promotion as possible, and include #StopHep.
  • Build momentum. Tweet @hepatitismag and Hep will retweet it to its audience.
