Hepatitis Free Northern New England (Hep Free NNE) is a tri-state initiative bringing together stakeholders across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont to join national and global efforts to end viral hepatitis B & C.

Hep Free NNE’s vision is that Northern New England is a place where new hepatitis B & C infections are prevented, every person knows their status, and every person with viral hepatitis has access to high-quality health care and treatment free from stigma and discrimination.

This Kickoff Summit launched a 2-year community-driven, data-informed strategic planning process to develop the FIRST-EVER five-year Northern New England Viral Hepatitis Elimination Plan plan by January 1, 2025.
