Dr. Evelyn McKnight, a Fremont resident, is one of 99 cancer survivors who contracted hepatitis C through unsafe injection practices while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer in 2000-2001. Dr. Tom McKnight, a UNMC alum (1977) and clinical instructor in the College of Medicine, helped uncover the outbreak when he diagnosed the disease in several of his patients. <\/p>\n<p>The McKnights founded  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.HONOReform.org\">Hepatitis Outbreaks&#8217; National Organization for Reform<\/a> in 2007 and were instrumental in the development and securing of funds for the One and Only Campaign, through partnerships with the CDC Foundation, the CDC and the Safe Injection Practices Coalition. The One and Only Campaign is an educational campaign to educate providers about injection safety and to empower patients to partner with their health care providers.<\/p>\n<p>RSVP are requested by Wednesday, April 23, through <a href=\"mailto:alumni@unmc.edu\">email<\/a> or by calling (402) 559-4385.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch is available at 11:45 a.m. for the first 120 registrants.
