About Us

San Francisco Hep B Free - Bay Area is a multicounty campaign to turn the San Francisco Bay Area into the first hepatitis B free area in the nation.

Our Mission

Our mission is to increase awareness and education about hepatitis B within the community and among health care providers, to increase access to affordable testing and vaccination, and provide linkage to care for chronically affected individuals.

The SF Hep B Free Campaign puts the San Francisco Bay Area at the forefront of the nation in fighting chronic hepatitis B. It is the largest, most intensive healthcare campaign for Asian and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. 

This initiative has received national attention and is being looked to as a model by the California legislature. Former mayor and now Governor Gavin Newsom and former assemblywoman and now State Treasurer Fiona Ma have lead the effort with more than 50 healthcare and Asian Pacific Islander (API) organizations. The SF Board of Supervisors and SF Health Commission have passed unanimous resolutions supporting SF Hep B Free.

ADVOCACY
