The Sacramento Hepatitis B Project was initiated in 1982 in Sacramento, California, in order to "stop and prevent the spread
of Hepatitis B" by screening those at high risk for the disease (such as gay men), and immunizing those without anti-bodies
to fight it. The project further sought to "educate and coordinate services to high risk groups." Dr. Kenneth Brock, a clinical
social worker, served as coordinator of the project.
