History
The NYC Coalition was founded in 2009 as a city-wide network interested in hepatitis B and related issues.
The City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene Viral Hepatitis Program and CDC funded B Free CEED: National Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Hepatitis B Disparities convened leading community organizations focused on hep B to establish the coalition.
