Over this past year, SF Hep B Free has accelerated our work to increase the amount of community events, the types of communities we serve, increase our media prescence and devoted ourselves to efforts with health systems that could affect thousands of patients.

Inspired by the World Hepatitis Alliance's 2024 World Hepatitis Summit, we've encapsulated this year's gala with the theme "Accelerate to Eliminate Hep B."

With early screening, prevention, and care, hepatitis B and its associated liver cancer can be prevented, treated and eliminated. Will you join us in the fight?
