The Hepatitis Foundation International (HFI) is dedicated to the eradication of viral hepatitis, a disease affecting over 500 million people around the world. We seek to raise awareness of this enormous worldwide problem and to motivate people to support this important – and winnable – battle.

Our mission has four distinct parts:

• Teach the public and hepatitis patients how to prevent, diagnose, and treat viral hepatitis.
• Prevent viral hepatitis by promoting liver wellness and healthful lifestyles.
• Serve as advocates for hepatitis patients and the related medical community worldwide.
• Support research into prevention, treatment, and cures for viral hepatitis.

To accomplish this, we provide education, training programs, and materials for the public, patients, health educators, and medical professionals. We also support hepatitis research, provide a patient telephone support network, answer a toll-free hotline, maintain a database of hepatitis support groups, and host this web site, your gateway to liver care and hepatitis information.

If you would like to join us in the ongoing fight against viral hepatitis, please visit our Donate section. If you simply have an issue of hepatitis concern, call us toll-free at 800-891-0707 from 9:00am – 5:00pm EST Monday-Friday. We’re here – in person – to help. And, if you have time, explore our E-Store where videos, books, booklets, brochures, primers and much more await you.
