Mission Statement
The Hepatitis C Support Group of the Lehigh Valley (HEPCLV) was formed to provide
support and information to persons diagnosed with Hepatitis C, their families,
and support/caregivers. The Support Group members and meetings are an ongoing
opportunity to network with those who have completed treatment, are presently
undergoing treatment, and those who have chosen alternative measures. Sharing
information regarding this disease can help those affected in making decisions
about care, treatment, and coping with the wide ranging effects of Hepatitis
C.
