ACC FIGHTING HEPATITIS
The Arab American and Chaldean Council (ACC) has been awarded a
grant to help combat hepatitis C.
Roche Laboratories awarded the $15,000 grant to ACC’ s Public
Health Division. The aim of the Hepatitis C Public Health Awareness
and Education Project is to educate the adult high-risk
Arab/Chaldean population with information about the disease, risk
factors, impact in other ethnic minority populations, and detection
measures available through appropriate screenings.
According to ACC, the Chaldean and Arab population has been identified
as a community that suffers from and is at continued risk for all
health disease disparities. This is due to a lack of health education and
screening services specifically targeted toward the population. Hepatitis
C often goes undiagnosed.
For more information on this and other ACC public health projects,
contact the Public Health Team, Monty Fakhouri, Hikmet Jamil and
Evone Barkho, at (248) 559-1990.
