Since 2004, SFHBC has held Hepatitis B education and screening events at local community centers around the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2007, we opened monthly Hepatitis B clinics at the Mt Zion UCSF Medical Center and at the Chinatown Public Health Center. For more information about our clinics, click here.
Our commitment is to provide accessible Hepatitis B screening and vaccination to at-risk populations. We also aim to provide care for chronic Hepatitis B patients.

SFHBC at Berkeley was established in 2007 by undergraduate students at the University of California, Berkeley. Their purpose is (1) to create a sustainable undergraduate student organization to address health disparities in Hepatitis B care, (2) to raise Hepatitis B awareness at the University of California, Berkeley, and (3) to involve undergraduate student volunteers in Hepatitis B advocacy and service.
