Liver cancer is negatively affecting our community!

Let’s all play our part in securing the future health of our community by raising awareness about liver cancer prevention, as the 2024 theme for Hispanic Heritage Month is “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.”

Did you know

1 in 3 American adults has liver disease?

And 50% of Americans live with at least one of the leading risk factors for liver disease?

Now is the time to educate yourself and take steps to protect your liver.

When you increase your knowledge and improve your health, you learn how to Love Your Liver.

Help us spread awareness and increase prevention of liver cancer and disease

This year’s theme for Black History Month is Black Resistance.
