📍WA Central Mosque | Friday, 2nd May 2025
The STOP HEP C team was at WA, Upper West, to raise awareness.
We are grateful to the leadership of the mosque and the congregation for this opportunity, and to the Municipal Chief Imam for his continued support for the campaign.

Every year, 1.3 million people lose their lives to hepatitis – and new data from the World Health Organization shows the number of deaths is rising.
It’s time for action. Sign our pledge and tell us what action you’ll take to eliminate hepatitis in your country.

Extremely honored and excited for this amazing opportunity to examine the well known and widely available digoxin as potential therapy for MASH 🙏🏽 @AASLDtweets @AmCollegeGastro @AmerGastroAssn #AGAFORWARD #PublicVoices @YaleDigestive
@US_FDA approved #therapies for metabolic steatohepatitis (@MASH) may be too expensive for many patients to access. @YaleIMed's @Bubu_Banini will use a more than $3 million @NIH grant to investigate the heart #drug #digoxin as a more #affordable option. brnw.ch/21wJNXN

On 5/15, I was honored to lead a Congressional briefing on the @AACR Cancer Disparities Progress Report 2024.
We have seen tremendous progress against cancer in the last few decades, but we must keep fighting to ensure equal access and improved health care delivery for ALL.
#VCUMassey takes fight for #CancerEquity to D.C.! New report shows progress against cancer, but disparities persist. VCU Massey's @DrRobWinn led a briefing urging Congress to close the gap & ensure everyone gets quality care. Check it out! bit.ly/44Q8ksg
