About Our Division

Local divisions are the cornerstones of the American Liver Foundation’s success. Since its inception in 1985, the New England Division has served patients and families with liver disease and worked with some of the most world-reknowned hepatologists and liver specialists.

A Message From Division Vice President Kelly Beckett


Kelly Leigh Beckett
Division Vice President

Thank you for visiting our website!

The American Liver Foundation New England Division is proud to disseminate our mission across the Northeast. We continue to expand our education and advocacy programs deeper into the five states that comprise our territory, as well as support and promote all local researchers who receive grant money from the ALF Research Awards Program. It is our hope that, through research, education and advocacy, we can send a powerful message to liver disease patients, physicians, caregivers, volunteers and our many supporters throughout the five states that are the essence of the New England Division.


This website has become an important tool of information for those whose lives are affected by liver disease. From special events in the area including our annual Liver Life Walk and Run for Research campaigns, to advocacy efforts such as state hepatitis funding and programs such as Living Well and Hot Topics, we are able to quickly and efficiently disseminate facts through our website. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the links listed on this page. We welcome your input at any time. If you know of any events or topics relevant to liver disease that we may have omitted, please send us an email and we will be sure to evaluate and integrate this useful knowledge into future updates.

Our goal is keep you in the loop about our hard work and enlist your continued support. We will utilize this site to garner more donations for the American Liver Foundation, as well as to acquaint you with a keen sense of how important our programming is to the future of the organization. If we want to help eradicate liver disease, find break-through treatments for those affected and teach the vital significance of caring for one of the body’s most vital organs; we must have your help in doing so. Please consider joining us at our next special event. With an army of supporters behind us, we are certain to conquer liver disease in the not-so-distant future.

Regards,

Kelly Leigh Beckett
