Viral Hepatitis Collective</a>. We are now soliciting input and feedback on the plan from a wide range of community partners and key stakeholders. The basic framework of the plan involves four pillars that are accessible through the SurveyMonkey links:

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">We invite you to review each section of the plan and provide feedback on the proposed strategies. We ask you to consider, “What strategies does your agency or healthcare facility already employ, and are
there additional strategies that you could implement?” As you review each of the 4 pillars, we have boxes at the end of each survey where we would love to hear your thoughts. Also, please feel free to forward the plan to any of your colleagues who might be
interested in reviewing the plan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">We look forward to incorporating everyone’s ideas into a plan that moves us closer to elimination of hepatitis in Oregon. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment. If possible, please return your
comments via Survey Monkey by December 20.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
