Chicago, here we come! 💚💙
Tomorrow, American Liver Foundation (ALF) kicks off the MASH: Empower & Educate Summit, bringing together patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and advocates for two days of education, connection, and empowerment!
Through expert-led discussions, shared experiences, and patient storytelling, we're working to strengthen the MASH community, amplify patient voices, and inspire meaningful change.
Follow along as we share highlights from the summit!

AI is starting to show up in MASH clinical trials, liver imaging, and risk screening. It won’t solve everything, but if used well, it could help catch more patients earlier instead of letting liver disease stay hidden until it gets worse.

Amazing evening at the legendary Arizona Biltmore for the ALF Flavors fundraiser! @liverUSA
Fatty liver disease is common. So why are we still catching it so late?
We already have better tools to identify people at risk, but too many patients are still being missed until it's too late.
Why screening and follow-through need to improve.

I’ve been saying this for years: you can’t fix what you don’t measure.
Now, the federal government is finally paying attention to NAFLD/NASH. AHRQ released the first ever report on prevalence of this silent killer disease.
This is a turning point.

The FDA just approved Wegovy for MASH—the 2nd ever treatment for this silent killer liver disease and the first one with significant capabilities for widespread adoption. This is a huge development for liver patients everywhere!

Enormously positive news!
Important news: The @FDA has granted accelerated approval for @novonordisk's #Wegovy to treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This marks the 1st GLP-1 therapy approved for #MASH, offering new hope to patients & families. 🧵(1/2)

@DrJBhattacharya loved your comment on the rise of chronic disease...we had funding to AHRQ last year for the first Congressionally funded study on NAFLD/NASH. Over 90 million American's are estimated to have some form of this disease and we need more attention from NIH!
I was proud today to represent the American Liver Foundation at the 2025 Liver Life Advocacy Summit in Washington D.C.
Dozens of advocates met with members of Congress and their staff to advance the ALF mission in a beautiful spring day.
NJ Strong!

At a recent UNGA sidelines event, many prominent health policy experts had never ever heard of NAFLD/NASH.
How is it that our healthcare system is failing so badly to address this issue? And what can we do? nashaware.com/2024/12/11/our…
Good article from @AgrawalNina!
Years ago I asked a room full of Hepatologist's what the most effective treatment for NAFLD/NASH was and they unanimously said surgeries like this.
That's shifting today, because now GLP-1 drugs are changing the game.
