Community Resources and Support Systems for CHB

Podcast

October 2025

In this episode, nurse practitioners Chantil Jeffreys, FNP, from Gastro One in Memphis, and Tuesday Werner, DNP, from Mayo Clinic Arizona, explore the vital role of community resources in supporting patients living with chronic hepatitis B. Drawing on over four decades of combined experience in hepatology and transplant medicine, they discuss practical ways clinicians can help patients connect with local and national support systems—from free screening and vaccination programs to educational workshops, mental health counseling, and advocacy initiatives. The conversation highlights trusted organizations such as the Hepatitis B Foundation, American Liver Foundation, and the CDC Hepatitis B Information Center, along with culturally sensitive programs like Asian Pacific Community in Action and 211 Arizona. Listeners will learn how education, early intervention, and advocacy can combat stigma, empower patients, and improve long-term outcomes.
