American Liver Foundation 2007 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
An important message
from the Chairman and CEO
The past year has been a year full
of challenges and opportunities –
a year that has found the
American Liver Foundation assessing what we currently are AND what we can be. During this
year we have reallocated time, energy, and resources towards reinvigorating our fundraising,
enhancing our brand, and improving our program services. We have also continued our
commitment towards funding research and ensuring that our advocacy activities are robust and
serving the best interests of the 30 million people in our country that live every day with liver
disease.
But, most importantly, we are focusing a great deal of energy on how we can more effectively
improve quality of life.
We are working hard to create an organization that far surpasses the ALF of today. We’d like to
create an organization that changes people’s lives. We want to create an organization that
demonstrates empathy through providing people with tools they would not otherwise have. We
want to meet people at their point of crisis by providing resources tomorrow that will help them
improve their lives and the lives of their family.
And as we do that, we'll educate the world around us that people with liver disease did not invite
the predator into their homes. We'll create an environment of global concern about liver disease
and what it does to people and their loved ones that does not exist today. We want to engage the world around us to build a strong fortress that will keep the predator out
of people's homes. And when the predator breaks through the fortress, there will be new
therapeutic treatments that make their lives better, happier, and healthier. We'll energize the
research community to accelerate their efforts with a resilient sense of urgency that does not exist
today.
And when all of that is done, we'll know we created a brighter tomorrow that simply would not
have materialized if leaders and donors such as you had not existed. That's the most remarkable
thing about manifest destiny. It takes strong people who are impatient with evolution to achieve
that destiny. It takes committed donors, event participants, researchers, volunteers, and corporate
partners.
So, that's what we can achieve together – with your leadership and support.
We're going to be impatient...and we're going to create a tomorrow where liver disease no longer
hurts families.
Thank you for joining us in accelerating our pursuit of this vital mission.
Sincerely,
Rick Smith
President and CEO

Direct Programs and Services
The strength of the American Liver Foundation can be found in the hands of our volunteers
and staff within our twenty-five chapters. Located in major cities across the country, each
ALF chapter offers a wide range of education programs, events, and support for patients,
family members, medical providers, and the community. ALF also offers extensive
information at www.liverfoundation.org, a variety of online and print publications, and our
national HelpLine 1-800-GO LIVER.
Education Programs provide learning opportunities on liver-related topics for many
audiences including members of the general public, patients and their families, and health
and social services professionals including physicians, nurses, and social workers.
During the 2007 fiscal year, ALF offered 121 public/patient and 41 professional education
programs attended by 4,079 patients, family members, caregivers, and members of the
general public and 1,085 healthcare professionals, respectively; facilitated 250 support groups
sessions for more than 2,500 individuals; offered 26 screening and testing programs for more
than 1,300 individuals; and participated in or conducted 365 education outreach activities
including health fairs, conferences, and radio spots, reaching more than 65,000 people.

American Liver Foundation 2007 Annual Report
CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS
Public Education
Public education programs provide general information about liver wellness or disease-specific
issues during lunchtime, evening, and weekend programs and are facilitated by lay or clinical
professional speakers.
The Hawaii Chapter is one of ten Chapters that implemented ALF’s Think B Initiative. The Chapter
collaborated with the local Board of Education and one high school to develop and implement an
education program on hepatitis B for students. To increase the sustainability of this partnership,
the Chapter also worked with the Board of Education to plan a volunteer speaker training for
teachers. These efforts have increased local awareness not only of hepatitis B but also of ALF’s
Hawaii Chapter as a resource to the community on a broad range of liver health issues. As a result,
the Chapter was invited to conduct a roundtable presentation at the National School Health
Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Rocky Mountain and Connecticut Chapters organized volunteer speaker trainings for local
volunteers. The Rocky Mountain Chapter widely promoted its free training to anyone interested
in becoming a volunteer speaker on Liver Wellness or Hepatitis B for the American Liver
Foundation. Members of the general public, liver patients and their family members, and
representatives from locals Department of Health and academic medical institutions attended.
The trainings provided in-depth information regarding liver wellness and hepatitis B, as well as
community outreach, public speaking, and program management techniques. After each
training, attendees received a certificate of achievement to acknowledge their successful
completion of the training and ability to conduct education programs on behalf of ALF.
The Connecticut Chapter has offered several two-part trainings for volunteers to learn how to
conduct community–based education programs about hepatitis C, testing, treatment options,
and other issues related to hepatitis C. Volunteer speakers are now members of the Chapter’s
Treatment Choices Initiative Speakers’ Bureau who have undergone hepatitis C treatment or are
very knowledgeable about hepatitis C and treatments. Volunteers conduct programs for
individuals who are infected with hepatitis C or who are at high risk of hepatitis C infection.

Patient Education
Patient education programs address disease-specific, testing, treatment, current research, and
living with liver disease topics for liver patients, their families, and caregivers. Programs are
facilitated by medical and social service professional faculty and often include patient speakers.
The Arizona Chapter held a patient education program in New Mexico, the first program
conducted there in more than a year and a half. HCV and liver transplant patients and their
families attended the program which included a panel of hepatitis C patients and liver transplant
recipients. Professional faculty from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and the University of
New Mexico addressed the transmission, clinical features, and natural history of hepatitis C and
current and new treatments for hepatitis C. The audience asked many questions and the panel
and presenters had an opportunity to address issues. The Chapter also invited the New Mexico
Organ Transplant Awareness Program to display and distribute information about organ donation.
The Greater Los Angeles Chapter worked with local community-based organizations to increase
their capacity to provide hepatitis C education for their clients and patients. Staff at these
agencies were trained using the Hepatitis Integration Training Manual (HIT’M) to integrate
hepatitis education with their existing education and treatment activities. The staff, with ALF
support, then conducted education programs regarding hepatitis C, including its transmission
and prevention.
Professional Education
Professional education programs are typically accredited seminars, live and audio conferences,
grand rounds, or symposia that address liver disease issues from a clinical point of view. These
programs are for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare and social service professionals,
presented by faculties of their peers.
The Illinois Chapter sponsored the first in a series
of CME Conferences for nurses and other healthcare
professionals. Held at the University of Illinois at
Chicago, the program was attended by nurses,
physicians, and physician assistants. The program,
titled “Hepatitis B: Exploring Treatment Options,”
helped providers understand the chronic hepatitis
B virus and how it affects the liver, and explored
treatment options. The Nursing Management
Series continued in May with a program titled “HCV
Treatment: Side Effects Management.”
The Ohio Chapter’s 2nd Annual Hepatology
Update, “LIVER MATTERS: A Clinical Guide to
Preventive Strategies,” was conducted for physicians
and nurses in Westlake, Ohio. This CME-accredited
program included workshop sessions on fatty liver
disease prevention; combating the effects of alcohol, tobacco, and coffee; pediatric obesity and
liver disease; the impact of weight change on the liver; alcohol and liver disease; and new
treatments for fatty liver disease.

American Liver Foundation 2007 Annual Report
Support Programs
Support programs provide information about disease and emotional support to patients and their
family members and caregivers.
The Mid-South Chapter has ongoing support groups that conduct sessions in cities throughout
Tennessee. Support groups focus on topics such as managing treatments, fundamental hepatitis
C information, and how to deal with an ill family member. Sessions are moderated by volunteer
nurse practitioners, patients, or lay individuals who are trained by the Chapter to use a manual
and other materials to help facilitate a support group session.
The Western New York Chapter works with dedicated support groups that reach individuals
affected by liver disease. Each group provides education, support, and social opportunities for its
members and their families. The Chapter offers each support group speakers, education material,
and other services as available. Each support group facilitator is committed to helping their
support group members. Their commitment and dedication make them valuable members of
the ALF family.
Screening and Testing Programs
Screening and testing programs give participants the opportunity to identify their risk of and be
tested for hepatitis B and C infection. Screening and testing programs are often offered jointly with
education programs.
The Greater New York Chapter expanded its screening and testing program services to the
Egyptian community in Queens. A planning committee, including medical professionals and
representatives from the Astoria Mosque, was convened to advise the Chapter on cultural and
religious issues that needed to be addressed to provide a successful hepatitis C education/
screening and testing program for the community. Members of the community are at high risk
for hepatitis C infection and predominantly Muslim and Arabic-speaking. To address these issues,
all education materials and screening and testing forms were translated into Arabic, and bilingual
volunteers helped to implement the education and testing components of the program.
The San Diego Chapter partnered with a local health care center to plan and implement an
education, screening, and testing program. In collaboration with its local partner, the Chapter
held planning meetings to strategize all aspects of the program, including program logistics, inlanguage education, and culturally sensitive marketing and communications.

Educational Outreach
Educational outreach can be formal or informal opportunities to raise awareness about liver
wellness and liver disease issues.
The Michigan Chapter was given an exhibit booth at the International Women’s Show (IWS) in
Novi, Michigan. The Chapter provided educational material and information about liver disease to
more than 10,000 people who attended the IWS and distributed more than 20,000 pieces of
literature. The Chapter also networked with many medical professionals who wanted to receive
more information and become involved in spreading the word about liver disease and ALF.
Wisconsin is home to more than 10,000 people originally from South East Asia. Like many other
South East Asian populations, the Hmong population is at higher risk for hepatitis B infection, and
the Wisconsin Chapter has proactively reached out to the local Hmong community to provide
education and information through the Think B program. The Chapter participated in the Hmong
annual festival and distributed brochures in English and Hmong. The Chapter also participated in
monthly radio spots on a local Hmong radio station and provided information on HBV risk factors,
testing, and treatment to the broadcast audience in six northern Wisconsin counties.

American Liver Foundation 2007 Annual Report
Transplant Trust Fund
Liver transplants are one of the great miracles of modern medicine, saving more lives each
year, but they are also very costly. The cost of a liver transplant currently averages about
$280,000 for immediate hospital and doctor expenses. Necessary pre- and post-operative
expenses bring the total to about $314,000 and in some especially complicated cases much
more. Follow-up care in the years after a transplant is an additional cause for concern. Even
patients whose transplants are covered by insurance find that they must raise a substantial
part of the costs themselves. The ALF Transplant Trust Fund Program assists patients and
families in this essential task, as it acts as a trustee of funds raised on behalf of patients to help
pay for medical care and associated transplantation expenses. ALF has more than 300 active
Transplant Trust Fund accounts.
HelpLine
ALF’s national, toll-free HelpLine is staffed with trained and experienced counselors who
provide emotional support and educational information to callers. More than 8,000 individual
callers contacted the HelpLine with questions on viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis,
cirrhosis, liver cancer, fatty liver disease, pediatric liver diseases, insurance issues, and other
concerns. Thousands more contact ALF electronically with similar questions.
Research Awards
In March 2007, ALF announced the winners of its 2007 Research Awards. Sixteen scientists
representing 12 medical and research institutions were awarded more than $1.2 million to
support their research in the areas of autoimmune hepatitis, biliary atresia, cirrhosis,
cholestatic liver disease, chronic liver inflammation, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, liver fibrosis, liver
regeneration, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and primary biliary cirrhosis.
ALF is proud to support these research efforts and hopeful that they will bring us closer to
finding cures for liver disease.

Advocacy
ALF’s advocacy efforts seek to increase awareness of liver health and liver disease issues and
give a voice to those with liver disease.
ALF Chairman of the Board, James Boyer, MD testified before the House Appropriations
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education in March. He presented
testimony on the need for increased funding for NIH, CDC’s Division of Viral Hepatitis, and
HRSA’s Division of Organ Transplantation. ALF Public Policy Committee Chair, Allan Wolkoff,
MD met with Representatives Stephen Lynch (DMA) and Peter King (R-NY) who reintroduced the
Liver Research Enhancement Act in Congress. The
purpose of this legislation is to create a Center
within NIDDK that will be focused solely on liver
and liver-related disease research. This bill will
create a Liver Disease Research Advisory Board to
keep active the recently developed Liver Disease
Research Action Plan. The plan will guide future
NIH funding decisions and help the liver disease
research community prioritize research efforts. In
addition, the bill provides new authorities
necessary to help ensure that the scientific
opportunities identified by the Liver Disease
Research Action Plan are adequately funded.
Additionally, all chapters participated in ALF’s
Hepatitis Awareness Month Education/Advocacy
Initiative in May 2007. In a nationally coordinated
Dr. James Boyer, MD testifies before the House
effort to raise awareness about hepatitis A, B, and
Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health
C, ALF’s network of 25 chapters, in collaboration
with local community-based organizations,
reached out to more than 500 decision makers around the nation. State and local legislators,
local health commissioners and health departments, and many media outlets received an ALF
information packet that included an overview of hepatitis as well as data that underscores the
devastating toll that chronic hepatitis B and C take on communities across the nation.
Approximately five million Americans are affected by chronic hepatitis.

American Liver Foundation 2007 Annual Report
Special Events
The American Liver Foundation’s fundraising is focused in each Chapter with two signature
events: Liver Life Walks and the Flavors of… events. In addition, several volunteer-driven
events take place, ranging from golf tournaments to fashion shows to rodeos. Revenue from
special events provides funding for programs, education, and research.
Walks are a great way to get the
community involved. Twenty-five
Liver Life Walks take place in the
spring and the fall around the country, bringing together families
affected by liver disease. With corporations and families rallying
together to build teams to support their local Walk, the Liver Life
Walks currently raise over $1.2 million annually.
The Flavors of… concept began in
Phoenix, Arizona seventeen years
ago when Chef Christopher Gross
from Christopher’s Fermier Brasserie brought the idea of the event
to the organization. Top chefs from across the nation assemble for
a night of elaborate table décor, exquisite food, fine wine, and a
great cause. Each chef has his or her own table and cooking station
with the responsibility of providing linens, flowers, theme-related
objects, or any other items to make each unique. All food is
prepared right in front of the guests who enjoy at least five courses
with accompanying wines and the opportunity to learn some tips
from the experts. Since its beginnings in Phoenix, we have
expanded this fundraising effort to more than 23 Flavors of…
events raising over $3 million across the country.
The Flavors of...
The Run for Research® team was
created 19 years ago by runner
Bobby Banks so that he could raise
money for the son of then Boston
Bruins Coach Terry O’Reilly. Terry’s son was born with liver disease.
Bobby and a handful of friends raised over $5,000 in support of the
O’Reillys. The Run for Research®, ALF’s single largest fundraising
event, attracts beginner and veteran runners alike from around the
country, and provides a training program that includes coaching,
training runs, and camaraderie. Today, more than 240 runners
expect to raise over $1.2 million bringing the overall total to more
than $11 million.

Categories of ALF Research Awards
Liver Scholar Awards offer young scientists three consecutive years of support towards
research carried out between completion of their formal medical training and attainment of
status as independent research scientists. These awards generally support the study of a
specific area of liver disease research.
Special Research Initiative Awards offer faculty members at all academic levels with two
years of support towards carrying out innovative research in specific areas of liver disease.
These grants particularly seek to support research that involve direct interactions with
patients and that will lead directly to successful NIH funding applications.
Seed Grant Awards promote the study of a specific area of liver disease research by either
young scholars or post-doctoral candidates.
Post-doctoral Research Fellowship Awards offer a year of funding towards a specific area of
liver disease research to MD, PhD, or MD/PhD Postdoctoral Fellows in their first or second year
of appointment.
Resident Scholar Travel Awards enable medical residents to attend the AASLD’s annual Liver
Meeting. These grants are designed to spark young professionals’ interest in entering the field
of hepatology.
