The bi-partisan Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer Control and Prevention Act of 2009

Now proposed in Congress to  address a national Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C epidemic impacting America.

In brief:

The Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer Control Act would amend the Public Health Service Act to establish, promote, and support a comprehensive prevention, research, and medical management referral program for chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C virus infection. The bill, with a price tag of 90 million in 2011 will increase the ability of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support state health departments in their prevention, immunization and surveillance efforts.

Coming to a CCLA Meeting each month

Sharing with others,

Valuing truth and friendship over beauty, wealth or fame.

Sharing your inner gifts and talents,

Leaving someone better off because you came.

Finding simple pleasures, seeing the rainbow, not the rain,

Believing in miracles that no one can explain,

Like a rose without a thorn.

Seeing good in others, sharing warm wishes and words of wisdom.

Sharing your love and thoughts with someone

Please come.  Share Happiness
