Today was Tailgate Tuesday at our health centers! Staff showed off their team spirit by dressing in their favorite sports gear. They were in full-on fan mode! While we may have been cheering for different teams, at the end of the day, we're all part of the FLCH team—and that’s the one that matters most! Check out some of the photos from today.

World Hepatitis Day is a reminder that liver health matters.

Hepatitis B and C often show no symptoms until serious damage has been done, but they’re both preventable and treatable. At FLCH, we offer testing, vaccines, and education to help you stay informed and protected.
