This years theme for World Hepatitis Day is finding the missing million! It is estimated that 9 in 10 people living with viral hepatitis do not know it. Undiagnosed hepatitis can cause liver damage, liver failure or liver cancer which can be deadly. RECAP is available for easy access to rapid hepatitis C testing. We offer on the spot point of care testing with antibody results in 20 minutes. Different options for confirmation testing including Dried Blood Spot Testing are a...vailable. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic our outreach testing is on hold - but that won't stop us. If you or someone you know is interested in testing give us a call at (506) 657-5699, email us at [email protected] or stop by at 100 Prince Edward St to book an appointment!

Today is World Hepatitis Day!

We are SO lucky to have her! Thank you Kate for all you do going over and way above every day! The RECAP Team loves you!

July 28th is World Hepatitis Day! In 2015, 195 countries signed on to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. One of these goals is to eliminate Hepatitis C by 2030. This means treating 80% of all known cases and finding and diagnosing the unknown. This week we are going to be sharing information on Hepatitis C testing, care and treatment for community members, people at risk or those who are positive. ... We would like you to be involved in the discussion! If you have any questions please comment them blow, message us or email us at [email protected].

Don't forget that Therapeutic Paws of Canada will be here tomorrow morning! Also, Kate from RECAP will be hosting a FREE Hep C clinic at the same time (10 AM). Stop in!
