Educational Programs & Special Events

Educational Programs

The Pacific Coast & Hawaii Division is your local source for educational programs regarding liver disease. Programs are educational and free of charge. Current programs that are being conducted in our community are:

"LOVE YOUR LIVER" This program is an interactive liver wellness education program targeted to elementary, middle and high school students. The program educates students about the liver and the actions they can take to maximize their liver health and prevent liver disease.

"FLIP" (Fatty Liver Information Program) This is a national program targeted to the general public, as well as liver disease patients. FLIP facilitates a greater understanding of the liver and its functions, discusses the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and offers a multi-disciplinary approach for maximizing liver health.

"TCI" (Treatment Choices Initiative) This is an education program targeted to individuals who have or are at high risk of hepatitis C infection. The program educates participants about the liver, liver disease, specifically hepatitis C, treatment options and other disease management strategies. The program also provides perspectives from hepatitis C positive individuals and additional support.

For more information about ALF programs or to schedule a program at your school, company or organization, please contact Programs Manager, Kristin Luton at
