The Veterans Health Council is now working with MedMatRx and Gilead Sciences on our Hepatitis C Awareness Campaign!!!
Representatives from MedMatRx will be reaching out to state councils and individual chapters throughout the US to coordinate a fun and educational event. The event can be in conjunction with your state council and/or chapter meeting or held as standalone. It is open to all VVA members and their spouses/partners in your area.
Jim Sherlock (fellow VVA member), Christine Panek, and/or Sherry Hoffman, from MedMatRx, will be reaching out shortly by email and/or phone to schedule the event with you. These events will be held between October 2015 and October 2016.
The suggested format of each meeting should include a welcome to guests and our Hep-C partners. Next will be a 10-15 minute talk by a fellow VVA Team Leader discussing their Hepatitis C journey. Followed by that will be a 10-15 minute discussion, by a Gilead Clinical Educator discussing Hepatitis C, risks of HCV related to serving our country, HCV screening and questions to ask your doctor. Last but not least, the catering and/or a fun activity, which will be discussed with you.
