The support group, which meets once every other month, provides a forum for adult patients with liver disease to learn more about their condition. The educational programs cover medical, social and nutritional topics.
Dr. Jorge Herrera, professor of internal medicine at USA, formed the support group in 1998. The Gulf Coast Liver Support Group is the only physician-led liver support group in the region and state.
This month, the group will open the holiday season with a catered dinner with friends and family. Immediate family members are invited. Contact Betty Sims at (251) 607-0930 by Nov. 11 to reserve your spot.
