March 2016
Regular 7pm Meeting, March 9th:Congratulations go to Marty, Adrian and Kim as the 2016 CCHCgroup co-facilitators. There has been a lot of behind the scenes work at the State Dept. of Public Health creating an HCV Profile for Connecticut as well as behind the scenes with the tele-support group (CT Hepatitis Educational Support Group), which will be discussed at the March meeting. We are also wondering who may be interested in a reunion in early summer of the inactive members to introduce them to the new membership and hear where they may be in their HCV progression or eradication; drop a note or email or give Adrian a call to let us know your interest.
