The Ontario Hepatitis Nursing Program is based at the Group Health Centre. A specially trained nurse helps people with hepatitis C (and co-infected patients with Hep B or HIV) get the nursing care and support that they require to complete their treatment program and lead healthier and more active lives.

The goal of the Ontario Hepatitis Nursing Program is to increase treatment capacity, particularly in under services communities and where the prevalence of Hepatitis C is high, and to improve the health of Ontarians living with Hepatitis C.

Studies have shown that up to 90% of patients are able to complete their treatment with nursing support compared to only 30% who do so with no support.
