Who Can Help
Mesothelioma Center
Mesothelioma & Veterans – Countless Veterans were exposed to asbestos during their military service. Visit the Mesothelioma Center today to learn more about mesothelioma statistics and all the different treatment options. Our Veterans Assistance Department can help you with your asbestos-related VA Claims or assist you with questions about potential benefits. To find out more about what is Mesothelioma , please visit our site for the most up to date information for Veterans.
The Mesothelioma Center provides a complete list of occupations, ships, and shipyards that could have put our Veterans at risk for developing asbestos-related diseases. We have a veterans-specific section on our website in order to help inform them about the dangers of asbestos exposure.
Because so many veterans visit your site, I thought that you may be interested in helping to educate our nation’s veterans about the dangers of asbestos exposure. With your help, we can continue to save some lives. Thanks again.
April 1st -April 8th is National Asbestos Awareness Week: Lung-related cancers have been a leading cause of death in our country for decades. Please help us increase awareness of lung-related cancers, including mesothelioma.

Dan Reeves, NFL Coach and Ms Thelma Thiel, CEO, Hepatitis Foundation
On Friday, April 23, Hepatitis Foundation International hosted the official launch of its new Partners in Liver Wellness initiative in Atlanta, GA. Over 30 corporate and community leaders from Atlanta and the surrounding areas were in attendance to learn about this new program. The mission of Partners in Liver Wellness is to promote liver wellness, healthy lifestyles and reduce the incidence of preventable diseases that affect the liver’s health including obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, hepatitis, HIV and substance abuse. This is a national initiative to help employers promote health to their employees and to train healthcare providers, educators, corporate and community leaders and government officials. To improve outcomes, we aim to help fill the enormous knowledge gap in liver health education in order to save lives and reduce healthcare costs by empowering everyone to understand the importance of the liver in maintaining healthier, more productive lives.
Former NFL Coach Dan Reeves, co-chair of this initiative, shared his thoughts on why understanding the importance of the liver was important to his players:
Thelma King Thiel, Dan Reeves and Leah Taylor from the Morehouse School of Medicine.
“Listening to a presentation on the importance of the liver had the greatest impact on my teams motivating them to take care of themselves and avoid the pitfalls of participating in liver damaging behaviors. We need to reach out to our community leaders to help our children, families and employees take responsibility for their own healthcare and adopt healthier lifestyles.”
Over the next several months, HFI will be conducting a series of stakeholders meetings to bring these importance awareness messages to communities across the nation. If you would like to learn more about how your company or organization can get involved, call Thelma King Thiel at 1-800-891-0707.
