Who We Are
“To create awareness and provide education about Hepatitis C to help prevent it from spreading and treat those affected already.”
The Missouri Hepatitis C alliance (MOHCA) was founded in 1999. The mission of MOHCA is to provide education in the community, support to individuals and families coping with Hepatitis C infection, and provide testing and treatment options for uninsured persons.
In 2004, MOHCA developed the HCV/HIV Early Intervention Program to meet the need for:
1. Community based health education focusing on HCV and HIV.
2. Alternatives to clinic based testing for HCV and HIV, and
3. Support, advocacy, and referral assistance for people who need access to primary care and treatment for Hepatitis C and HIV infection.
