The Mississippi Community Veterans Engagement Board (MS-CVEB), in coordination with the G. V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson and the Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System in Biloxi, MS, will offer Hepatitis C testing to their enrolled Veterans.
Veterans not enrolled in VA health care are encouraged to enroll, and take advantage of screening and potential treatments. Hepatitis C affects millions, and it is essential that all Veterans be tested.
A Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) study shows that new drug regimens for Hepatitis C have resulted in “remarkably high” cure rates among patients in VA’s national health care system.
Medical staff will provide walk-in testing on September 27, 2018, from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. for eligible and enrolled Veterans at the following locations.
