Mission
The Hepatitis C Mentor and Support Group (HCMSG) was founded to address the lack of education awareness, support, and services for people living with Hepatitis C, including patients Co-infected with other conditions such as HCV/HIV, and patients in need of or living with liver transplants. To address these needs, we provide resources and services to foster the development and operation of successful support groups for Hepatitis C and Co-infected patients. These services are provided to prospective and current support group facilitators free of charge. We also provide one-on-one mentoring services to Hepatitis C and liver transplant patients. Right now, a revolution in the treatment of Hepatitis C is underway.
