A @UHN study reveals gaps in #HepatitisC care for pregnant people. Fewer than 10% of patients began treatment within 5 years of diagnosis, and many had multiple pregnancies before treatment. This highlights the need for stronger linkage-to-care. 🔗: doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

📢We’re participating in this year’s #HCT12 One-Stop-Shop event at Mattamy Athletic Centre on Sun, Oct 26! Come by our booth anytime between 10am and 3pm to get screened for Hepatitis C!

🚨 Webinar next Thursday! Mental health and hepatitis are closely linked, yet they are not often discussed together. To help address this, WHA and United for Global Mental Health (UGMH) are excited to announce "Breaking silos and connecting care: An integrated approach to hepatitis and mental health". This webinar will explore the connection between hepatitis and mental health, and why addressing both together is truly person-centred care. Register: bit.ly/4646Oox Featuring co-chairs Rachel Halford (President, WHA) and Yves Miel Zuñiga, FRSPH, AFCHSM, CHM, CPH (Policy and Advocacy Advisor, UGMH), the session will discuss the challenges facing the integration of hepatitis and mental health services and how different stakeholders can work together to address them.

I was truly honoured to present the King Charles III Coronation Medal at Queen's Park to 18 incredible Ontarians. Working in health care, research, and philanthropy, these dedicated individuals make an impact on our province every day and represent the very best of Ontario.
