History
The National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable began on December 7, 2003 at its inaugural meeting. The Roundtable, a coalition of numerous advocacy organizations, government agencies, insurers, and others developed from the hard work of representatives of 25 organizations who met periodically throughout 2003 to establish a blueprint by which the NVHR could operate. While all of these organizations have dedicated themselves to the creation of the NVHR, much of the inspiration and leadership came from the following founding organizations, the Hepatitis Foundation International, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors.
