Leadership

National Nurses Executive Advisory Council
Throughout history nurses have led the battles against every epidemic faced by mankind. The National Nurses Advisory Council for Liver Wellness and Hepatology (NNAC) continues in this same tradition. The Council was established to promote liver wellness and improve hepatitis related outcomes through the establishment of education and prevention programs at all levels of society, collaborating with both public and private organizations.

Under the guidance of the Hepatitis Foundation International, registered nurses with recognition, strength and vision in the field of viral hepatitis: research, education, patient care, and prevention, were invited to participate in planning and leadership for a National Nurses Advisory Council.
