The Hepatitis B Initiative of Washington DC (HBI DC) is dedicated to preventing liver diseases caused by viral hepatitis among Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African immigrants, and other high-risk groups. Operating in the healthcare sector, HBI DC provides free health screenings for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and facilitates linkage to appropriate care for those who test positive. The organization also refers individuals in need of hepatitis B vaccination. HBI DC's business model is centered around community mobilization and outreach, leveraging a hybrid screening model that includes online telehealth services, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on targeted at-risk populations, HBI DC aims to increase awareness and encourage individuals to know their health status, thereby reducing the incidence of liver diseases. The organization generates revenue through donations and grants, which support its mission-driven activities.
