HCV Elimination and Integrated Care for High-Need Communities in Los Angeles County - Project Title: HCV Elimination and Integrated Care for High-Need Communities in Los Angeles County Public Summary: Bienestar Human Services (BIENESTAR) will implement an innovative, community-based Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) elimination initiative across Los Angeles County, California. The project will deliver same-day HCV testing and treatment, integrated behavioral health care, and peer-led support to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured communities in need. The initiative targets populations heavily impacted by HCV, HIV, substance use, homelessness, and mental illness. By providing whole person supports to individuals with complex needs, BIENESTAR aims to cure HCV and improve long-term health outcomes. We estimate that 100 individuals will be served annually through this high-impact model.
