C Change

What We Do

C Change collaborates with settings serving priority populations to optimize workflows, implement best practices, and remove barriers to hepatitis C care. Our approach starts with identifying the organization’s goals, followed by an in-depth capacity assessment and collaborative implementation planning process involving staff at all levels. We work closely with key members of the organization to identify and implement necessary training and capacity building interventions to achieve the organization’s goals and integrate various stages of the HCV care cascade—testing, linkage to care, and treatment.
