This session at NASTAD's 2023 Annual Meeting is titled, "Leading with Lived Experience: Informing Health Department Viral Hepatitis Elimination Programs." During this session, panelists described how leading with lived hepatitis and substance use experience is central to advancing hepatitis elimination as they explored considerations for enhancing relationships between state health departments, CBOs, and people who use drugs. Attendees were invited to engage in discussion with peer jurisdictions, strategy leaders, and people with lived expertise about opportunities and tangible strategies for how to equitably invest in leaders with lived expertise as an essential factor to eliminate viral hepatitis.
