The 2008 API Hepatitis B Community Forum was a big success! Over 100 participants from academia, research, medical, non-profit, and the API community were in attendance on Tuesday, April 1st in Seattle’s International District. They networked, watched the International Community Health Services receive the 2008 API Hepatitis B award, heard from a keynote speaker, and shared outreach ideas. Jeff Caballero from the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) talked about AAPCHO services and updated the audience about other national API hepatitis B efforts. View his presentation here (.pdf). Several of the slides (22 and 26) will take a few minutes to download properly – thanks for your patience. View the photos here.
