Philadelphia Hepatitis Outreach Project
Philadelphia Hepatitis Outreach Project (P-HOP) conducts community-based hepatitis prevention education, screening, testing and linkage to medical care and support services. Outreach services are implemented in substance abuse treatment and public housing facilities, HIV early intervention programs, homeless shelters among others. Additionally, project staff conduct and participate in community health fairs which provide neighborhood residents with viral hepatitis-related health information and the opportunity to receive HCV counseling and screening services. Follow-up events are scheduled for each health fair to provide residents with their HCV screening results and facilitate referrals to confirmatory testing services for those who screened positive for HCV. All services are available in Spanish and English. This project is supported with funding from the Office of Addiction Services of the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Mental Retardation Services.
