  • Viral Hepatitis Care Coordination

    • HEP’s care coordinators work one-to-one with people who have hepatitis C, facilitating access to testing, diagnosis, treatment and resources. We offer free screening, care coordination and diagnosis - no insurance is required! For treatment, our team can help you understand insurance or payment options.

    The Seattle STEP Clinic

    • Seattle STEP Clinic is a collaboration combining the harm reduction mission of Hepatitis Education Project with the MOUD services of Seattle Roots Community Health. Our evidence-based, low-barrier approach to care centers the needs and goals of each client individually to provide wrap-around care.

    Harm Reduction Services

    • HEP’s in-house Syringe Service Program is open 4 days-a-week, Mon–Thu, 12:30–5:30 p.m. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be there to greet you, provide harm reduction supplies and information, offer resources and referrals, and answer any questions you might have.

  • Correctional Health Program

    • Since 2004, HEP has been involved with work to expand viral hepatitis education, testing, treatment in correctional facilities in hopes of stopping the spread behind bars and improving health outcomes for people who are incarcerated.

  • National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable

    • National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable is an initiative of the Hepatitis Education Project. Hepatitis Education Project is a nonprofit that receives funding from a diversity of sources, including foundations, governments, individual donors, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies.

    National Hepatitis Corrections Network
