The Gulf Coast Liver Support Group was organized in January 1998 to
provide a forum for adult patients with liver disease to learn more about
their condition and share with others their experiences and frustrations.
We offer educational programs covering medical, social and nutritional
topics. A bi-monthly newsletter is mailed to registered members and
is also accessible through this website.

The liver support group is affiliated with the Digestive Health Center
at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. Jorge L. Herrera, M.D.
and Ms. Betty Sims coordinate the group’s meeting and activities.
The group meets every other month on a thursday night
at the University of South Alabama Knollwood Hospital Conference
Center. Activities are also planned for the months when a meeting is
not held.

Participation in the support group is free of charge. To ensure that all
participants get the most out of each meeting, we ask that you do not
bring children to the meetings. You are invited to join us to share
common concerns and experiences and learn more about liver diseases
and their treatment. For further information you can contact us
