Hepatitis C Research Fund
The Greenview Foundation's Hepatitis C Research Fund is a charity raising money for medical research to
improve the diagnosis and treatment options of Hepatitis C patients worldwide.
Hepatitis C is a serious, often chronic and potentially fatal disease that afflicts approximately 4-5 million Americans
and is the #1 reason for liver transplants. The yearly death rate in the U.S. is estimated to be 8,000 - 12,000. Many of
these Americans are health care workers that were exposed to infected patients. Many others are unfortunate people that
received blood transfusions as medical patients in the 1980's before hepatitis C was detectable. Worldwide, more than
170 million people are estimated to have hepatitis C, most without yet knowing it.
