July 28th is National Hepatitis Day, a time to raise awareness, break stigma, and push for prevention and treatment of viral hepatitis. This day isn’t just a moment on the calendar; it’s a reflection of the life-saving work we do every single day.

Hepatitis C (Hep C) is a curable liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus. But too many people still go untreated due to stigma, cost, misinformation, or lack of access. That’s why we created HepCMyWay.com—a program that makes Hep C care simple, affordable, and judgment-free.

Why Hepatitis C Awareness Matters

Over 2 million people in the U.S. are living with Hep C, and many don’t even know it. Hep C is often called a “silent” infection, because symptoms might not show up until serious liver damage has already occurred.

Left untreated, Hep C can lead to liver failure, cancer, and even death. But the good news? There’s a cure.

With just 8 to 12 weeks of daily medication, over 95% of patients can be cured permanently. That means the real challenge isn’t the science—it’s making sure everyone has access to the care they need.

What We're Doing About It: HepCMyWay

We don’t wait for patients to come to us—we meet them where they are. Our HepCMyWay program was designed to remove every barrier possible:

✅ Discreet and flexible care
Whether you want to test at a nearby lab or have a phlebotomist come to your door, we’ll make it work for you.

✅ Telemedicine appointments
No need to travel—our Hep C doctors will talk to you via phone or video.

✅ Meds delivered to your home
Once treatment starts, you’ll receive medication shipped directly to your door.

✅ Little to no cost
Thanks to federal support and our partnerships, we can treat many patients for free—no insurance required.

We’re proud to say: Central Outreach is the #1 Hep C treatment provider in the country, according to data from Gilead Sciences. We’ve helped thousands of people become Hep C-free and we’re just getting started.

We work especially hard to reach those who are too often left out of traditional healthcare: people who use drugs, LGBTQ+ individuals, those in recovery, and uninsured patients. Everyone deserves access to care—no shame, no stigma, no judgment.
