We consistently evaluate how our model of care is implemented and how it affects patient outcomes so we can learn what works and share those lessons with others. Virginia HEPC disseminates these findings through conferences and peer-reviewed journals. A selection of our publications and conference presentations is listed below.

We also welcome research updates from our network. If you are working on a project related to viral hepatitis, we encourage you to share your work with us by completing a brief form. We will contact you to learn more about your research. Your project may be featured alongside other research efforts to help expand learning and collaboration across the Virginia HEPC community.
