GLOBAL LIVER INSTITUTE
GLI launched the Liver Action Network (LAN) in 2021 to unite a rapidly growing force of liver health advocates, capitalize on the eagerness of patients and physicians to be active, and address the needs of communities. The LAN is organized via society membership affiliation model that facilitates provision of strategic mentorship, technical assistance, and support to community organization members. It is a unified voice across the globe comprised of community based organizations working collectively to serve individuals and families impacted by liver disease. Each of these organizations best understand the communities they represent, and provide essential insight into the populations they serve.
All LAN members have the opportunity to use their voices and insights from lived experiences to advance liver health initiatives at a local, state, national, and global level through legislative, regulatory, or coverage/reimbursement changes, on behalf of all people at risk for or living with liver conditions.
Member organizations meet monthly on a virtual platform and once per year in person to discuss and solve the most pertinent liver health policy issues, alignment of ongoing initiatives, and how each organization can collaborate to best address liver health issues within their communities and leverage their collective unity, on national and global levels.
