Welcome

 

The SLO Hep C Project is dedicated to providing supportive services for county residents living with heptitis C and educating the public and healthcare providers about viral hepatitis. 

The San Luis Obispo County Hepatitis C Task Force was established in 1999 in response to the growing number of hepatitis C cases being seen in the community.  Service providers such as the San Luis Obispo County AIDS Support Network, County Drug and Alcohol Program, the Economic Opportunity Commission, the Community Health Centers of the Central Coast, the Veteran's Administration, County Public Health, the North County Connection and others, came together to pro-actively find resources and strategies to fight the epidemic of Hep C within the county.  The SLO Hep C Project was established in 2000 with a grant from the California Endowment.
