About Our Office

The Great Lakes Division, Wisconsin Office strives to educate the state on the more than 100 liver diseases that affect over 500,000 of our citizens. We continue to this day to support those affected, educate those who are at risk, and share information so more of our great Wisconsinites understand the true face of liver disease!

A Message from Our Metro-Board Chairman Mike T. Bui

I am very honor to be elected as the New Board Chairman. I was compelled to become a member when I discovered the staggering number of people impacted by liver disease and having a brother that is a liver transplant recipient. It astonishes me that liver disease affects more than 500,000 people in Wisconsin alone. Even more disconcerting is 70% of those people don’t know they have liver disease. That means that potentially10% of your workforce has liver disease and most of them don’t even know it.

2010-2011 promises to be a transformational year for the Wisconsin Office, American Liver Foundation. From the anticipation of the Great Flavors of Wisconsin event, the Annual Liver Walk, and the expanded education/support schedules, the Wisconsin Office is already kicking off a year that holds promise of expanding the knowledge of liver disease to everyone.

I am very thankful for the limitless commitment from our program leadership team led by Dee Ann Girard and her staff. We are also grateful for the Board of Directors for their commitment to the prevention, treatment, and cure of hepatitis and other liver diseases through research, education, and advocacy. They show their tremendous benevolence through giving freely of their time and financial support. Additionally, we are grateful for the leadership and commitment of our Medical Advisory Committee. The Medical Advisory Committee is actively engaged in supporting the American Liver Foundation and provides navigational leadership in ensuring that our Office provides the most impactful focus in research, education and advocacy.

The growth of the Wisconsin Office is due to its supporters and volunteers who give their time and funds to help us support those in the liver community.

Thank you!

Mike T. Bui, Board Chairman, Wisconsin Office, American Liver Foundation
