The History of Moving Mountains
For the person with hepatitis C (HCV), one of the biggest challenges is simply getting a referral to a specialist. With over 30,000 people in our community infected with viral hepatitis and only a handful of specialists, too many people with liver disease were languishing months and even years before they could get the treatment they needed to restore them to health. For those who are underinsured or uninsured there was little hope of ever receiving life-saving treatment.
The solution was to make hepatitis treatment specialists out of generalists. Education for Healthy Choices sought out primary care and specialty clinic providers who had a high number of patients who were HCV+ and who were also ready to learn how to treat hepatitis C themselves. EHC then created a continuing medical education program whereby these providers would receive advanced training in the treatment and management of HCV and related conditions by the experts in the field.
Moving Mountains debuted in March 2006 with Lorenzo Rossaro, MD, Chief of Hepatology and Gastroenterology at UC Davis providing a comprehensive overview of HCV medical care. In a time of restricted budgets, Moving Mountains brings the best in the field of hepatitis to this alliance of county and community based clinics at no charge to the members. We are nowing moving toward the point when only the most severe cases will need to be referred to a specialist.
Member clinics include Bi Valley Medical Clinics, C.O.R.E., County of Sacramento Primary Care Clinic, El Dorado County Health Department, Kaiser G.I. & Hepatology, CPMC Hepatology, Placer County Health Department, UCD Hepatology, Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease Resident Programs, UC Davis NP/PA Program and Sacramento Native American Health Center.
