A little about our foundation

American Liver Foundation - Great Lakes Division

The Great Lakes Division includes Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Thirty million Americans, or 1 in 10, are personally affected by nearly 100 types of liver disease. You can inherit liver disease, have it result from an abnormality found at birth or develop it later on in life. It does not discriminate; it affects individuals without any consideration of age, gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic background. A diagnosis of liver disease can be overwhelming and frightening and we can help. We have a wide variety of information and educational programs to support you, your family, and your community.
