The Hepatitis Education Project (HEP) is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that was formed in 1993 by a group of patients and medical professionals.
HEP is committed to improving health of underserved and marginalized communities disproportionately impacted by viral hepatitis and envisions a world where everyone has access to affordable, high-quality care to support all their health needs. Driven by the values and principles of social justice and harm reduction, our programs include Prevention and Outreach, Medical Case Management, Correctional Health, and Policy and Advocacy. Through these programs, HEP serves people at risk for or living with viral hepatitis, with a focus on disproportionately impacted communities including people experiencing homelessness and/or housing instability; people who are uninsured/underinsured; people who use drugs; incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals; and immigrant and refugee communities. HEP aims to improve the health of marginalized communities by providing low-barrier services that reduce the negative consequences associated with drug use, homelessness, incarceration, and infectious diseases.
HEP also manages the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable (NVHR) - nvhr.org and the National Hepatitis Corrections Network (NHCN) - hcvinprison.org.
