The US-HAMP (United States Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program), a program of the Kentucky Rural Health Association would like to invite you to the US-HAMP Summit on July 27, 2021. This will be a virtual event for Key State Leaders. Please refer to HAMP attachment for agenda/program about US-HAMP.
US-HAMP is a multi-state collaborative learning network to train key state leaders on the implementation of a successful HAMP model in an effort to empower primary care providers in their state to screen, diagnose, evaluate, treat, cure and report hepatitis C outcomes. Current HAMP best practice will be discussed by state leaders in Kentucky and West Virginia.
US-HAMP Program Goals:
EDUCATE, ADVOCATE, COLLABORATE
“Every patient with hepatitis C deserves treatment.”
- Educate key state leaders about the elements of a successful state-based HAMP model.
- Empower state leaders to develop a team-based program that will improve both individual and public health and provide momentum for eliminating hepatitis C in the US according to the Viral Hepatitis Strategic Plan 2025.
- Advocate for expanded access to curative hepatitis C treatment through education of a broad range of care providers, development of strong linkages to care, best practices, health equity, policy changes and insurance reform.
- Collaborate to provide resources and networking opportunities to multiple stakeholders within their state. Collaborate with other state programs to strengthen state-based HAMP.
