Nutrition is both an important way to support liver wellness, as well as a great opportunity to share facts about how the liver stores vitamins and minerals, supports digestion and the immune system and filters everything we eat, drink, breath or come across in our environment.
The Michipicoten First Nation and community of Wawa hosted four events in December 2023 to increase awareness around hepatitis C as an initiative toward destigmatizing the virus and increasing access to screening and treatment through partnerships in Sault St Marie.
These Lunch N Learn events also provided an opportunity to share information about the hepatitis C virus, the options for cure as a pathway to support liver regeneration, and screening for the virus through a point of care (POC) finger poke test with quick results. Conversations over moose stew create spaces for recipe sharing, stories of hunting adventures and destigmatizing hepatitis C.
