Hepatitis C is an infirmity that carries with it a stigma that affects patients in all areas of their lives. Misinformation about the disease itself and public misconceptions contribute to the discrimination and mistreatment that many of our own are now experiencing from their places of employment to the offices of healthcare providers they've entrusted with their health. 

We believe that with proper care, hepatitis C is survivable for most people and the purpose of this section of the NHCC website is NOT to present a "doom and gloom" view of the disease. Instead, we'd rather share some of the problems that many of our own have had to endure because of it and discuss how these situations were handled.

"A wise man learns from the trials of others,
while a fool only remembers his own."
