Hep B Free

Hep B Free aims to eliminate hepatitis B through education, screening, vaccination, and advocacy, focusing on the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities disproportionately affected by this disease and its related health inequities.

Hep B Free&#39;s Silent Auction brings our community together to support hepatitis B education, testing, and vaccination 🎗️. Your bids help fund outreach in high-risk communities, free or low-cost screenings, and advocacy for better public health policies. Every item you win moves us closer to a future with less hepatitis B and more people informed, protected, and supported.

THIS YEAR&#39;S THEME: &quot;Leading the Fight to Eliminate Hepatitis B&quot;Special guests: To be determinedDespite increasing challenges to hepatitis B efforts at the federal level, we remain deeply committed to advancing this work. This year, we have made meaningful progress partnering with local health systems to better understand the successes and barriers surrounding hepatitis B screening, vaccination, and linkage to care, and to share those lessons broadly. We were also proud to host our inaugural Hep B Free California Summit, gathering 200 people to bring greater visibility and momentum to hepatitis B advocacy and public health efforts across the state. 2030 is quickly approaching, and frustratingly, we are still not on track to reach national goals on hepatitis B screening, vaccination, and treatment. We continue to support Hep B Free Los Angeles and Hep B Free Arizona and explore other methods to improve advocacy here in the Bay and across the US! &nbsp;We hope&nbsp;you will join us in the fight?&ndash;&ndash;&ndash;EVENT DETAILSThe festivities will start at&nbsp;6:00PM (Pacific Standard Time).Dress Code:&nbsp;Business Casual or fancier, take the opportunity to dress up!&nbsp;Parking: Valet parking is available for $50 at the hotel.
