The Hepatitis B Foundation (HBF), is the only national non-profit organization solely dedicated to the global problem of hepatitis B. The foundation is headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and was established in 1991.^[1]

The organization was founded when Paul and Janine Witte and Dr. Timothy Block and his wife Joan, were deeply moved by the plight of a young family affected by hepatitis B.

To the dismay of the Wittes and Blocks, they discovered there was no place for this family to turn for support, nor was there any organization devoted to finding a cure for hepatitis B. With the personal support from Dr. [https://wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baruch_Samuel_Blumberg&oldid=637379085 Baruch Samuel Blumberg] (Nobel Prize winner for his discovery of the Hepatitis B virus)^[2], both the Wittes and the Blocks were able to establish the Hepatitis B Foundation.
