Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association is highlighting its Love Your Liver program during Hispanic Heritage Month with two free online workshops conducted entirely in Spanish. The sessions aim to provide culturally relevant liver health education and connect participants with medical experts.
The first workshop will feature Dr. Edward Mena, a gastroenterologist and hepatologist, on Friday, October 9, from 5:00–6:00 p.m. ET. The second will feature Dr. Humberto Gonzalez, a gastroenterologist and transplant hepatologist, on Wednesday, October 14, from 4:00–5:00 p.m. ET. Both physicians will offer practical education on liver health, liver disease, liver cancer risk, prevention, and early detection. Each session includes a live Q&A, allowing patients, caregivers, and community members to ask questions directly.
Hispanic Americans face a disproportionately high burden of liver disease and liver cancer, and language barriers often make trusted health information harder to access. By providing these workshops in Spanish, Blue Faery’s Love Your Liver program helps close that gap. The initiative offers culturally relevant education and direct access to medical experts, which can lead to better prevention, earlier detection, and improved outcomes.
The workshops are free, but registration is required. To learn more and register, visit LoveYourLiver.us. Blue Faery’s mission is to prevent, treat, and cure primary liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy. The organization also hosts an online Liver Cancer Community for patients and caregivers, and provides free comprehensive patient education with its Patient Resource Guides for Liver Cancer. Blue Faery offers several programs, including HCC Lunch & Learn, Love Your Liver, The Truth About Liver Cancer, and You and Liver Cancer.
For the healthcare industry, this announcement underscores the growing need for language-accessible patient education. As the Hispanic population in the U.S. continues to grow, addressing disparities in liver health literacy becomes increasingly critical. These workshops not only empower individuals but also set a precedent for how organizations can effectively reach underserved communities. By offering free, expert-led sessions in Spanish, Blue Faery is taking a tangible step toward reducing health inequities in liver disease and cancer care.
