The purpose of this document is to describe the work of the Toronto Community Hep C Program (TCHCP) and to share what we have learned with the hope that it will provide others with a starting place from which to build other community-based Hep C treatment programs.
This guide is based not only on our journey but on information from client chart review, focus groups with clients, interviews with staff, program documents, and current research in the field. It details who is served by the program, how services are provided, the scope of practice for individual team members, and the program’s outcomes. It also provides an overview of key program components that have been critical to our success.
