About Us

Since 1997, the Washington State Asian and Pacific Islander (API) Hepatitis B Task Force has worked to bring hepatitis B awareness and education to the API community.  We are a network of committed health care professionals and community volunteers, health departments, community clinics, and nonprofit organizations, with representatives from the local, state, and national levels.  We are located in Seattle, Washington and are supported by the Washington State Department of Health.

Our work promotes understanding of the disease, including testing, immunizations, and treatment for hepatitis B.  We strive to do our work in a culturally appropriate manner and through our three committees and partners.  Read about each outreach committee – Community, Provider, and Teen/Young Adults – and our various partners.
