Back issues are also available online as pdf's.

HepCBC also distributes its own Pamphlet Series. Currently we have 8 pamphlets available: HCV & Pregnancy; HCV & The Beauty Industry; HCV & Sexual Transmission; and HCV & Drugs; HCV & Treatment; HCV & Seniors; HCV & Disability Benefits; Helping a Friend or Family Member with HCV. The text of these pamphlets is available in HTML, and the pamphlets themselves can be downloaded as pdf's. 

HepCBC was the first hepatitis C organisation in Canada to place HCV Awareness Ads on public transportation.

HepCBC works with  advocacy groups, such as the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities, and the Legal Services Society, as well as with peer support organisations in order to obtain disability and health benefits for those with hepatitis C.  HepCBC also produces and updates The Advocate's Guide to Hepatitis C: A Handbook of Symptoms and Their Causes.

HepCBC provides professional-level information sessions on HCV to healthcare workers as well as to the general and the infected public.

HepCBC actively monitors the hepatitis C information networks and the relevant medical journals for the latest updates on research, treatment & clinical trials . We also issue warnings on possible drug interactions on the HepCAN list and in the hepc.bull.

HepCBC maintains the most up-to-date HCV community library in British Columbia.
