HHHRC Executive Director Heather Lusk appeared on KITV news on January 22 to discuss a new report card from the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable that grades each state on their viral hepatitis policies.
Hawaii scored a “B,” pointing to problems with specialist prior authorization insurance requirements and the lack of hepatitis prevention, screening, and treatment in the state’s prisons, and lack of regularly updated surveillance data. States that received an "A" grade include Louisiana, Indiana, Washington, Michigan, New York, and California.
Heather is also the Co-Director of Hep Free Hawai῾i, which working with 120 stakeholders from across Hawai῾i to eliminate viral hepatitis on a statewide basis.
“Hawai῾i remains well-positioned to become a national leader in prevention, screening, and treatment of viral hepatitis A, B, and C,” she said.
Heather Lusk’s insights on community-building and support in the interview are both inspiring and important. Her focus on collaboration and creating spaces for others to thrive really resonates. This idea of preparedness and strategy also ties into front end handbook preparation. Just like in the work that Heather does, being well-prepared and understanding the nuances of a particular challenge is key to success. With tools like FrontendLead’s handbook, developers can effectively structure their learning and practice to succeed in their coding interviews, ensuring they are ready to contribute to their community and beyond.
