May is Hepatitis Awareness Month, and the Uncas Health District’s Mobile Health Team is on a mission to raise awareness and increase testing for Hepatitis C. We’re hosting a free Hepatitis C Testing Day on Friday, May 17th, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at St. Vincent DePaul Place in Norwich.
Hepatitis C is a liver infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. The good news? Hepatitis C is curable in most cases, especially when detected early.
Why Get Tested?
Many people with Hepatitis C don’t experience any symptoms for years, which is why getting tested is crucial. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, preventing serious health complications like cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver cancer.
Hepatitis C Testing Day at St. Vincent DePaul Place

Join us on May 17th and take control of your health! Getting tested is a simple step towards a healthier future.
