Sunday, May 19 - National Hepatitis Testing Day
CrossLink Medical Resources and the Hepatitis Coordinator from the PA Department of Health show their love by offering free testing Sunday, details:
CrossLink Medical Resources will be
conducting Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Screening in Montgomery County, Lansdale,
Pennsylvania, on May 19, 2013 for National Hepatitis Testing Day. Hepatitis C
is the most prevalent bloodborne viral disease in the United States and the
deadliest. The focused population for the testing is the Egyptian immigrants
whose country of origin is known to have the highest HCV prevalence worldwide.
The organization wishes to offer a path for those with Hepatitis C starting
with this high prevalence population to overcome barriers to healthcare.
The location of the testing is at the
Lansdale United Methodist church, 300 N. Broad St. Lansdale, PA. The event will
be from 1 pm – 8 pm. We are fortunate that the Hepatitis Coordinator from the
PA Department of Health will be driving from Harrisburg to join us for this
event. We look forward to this initiative that can offer aid to those suffering
from this viral disease by leveraging resources in the community and across the
world.
