About Fatty Liver Alliance
The Fatty Liver Alliance (FLA) is a global patient-led organization dedicated to education as the front line of prevention, early identification, and action in liver and metabolic disease.
FLA translates rapidly evolving liver and metabolic science into practical, accessible education for patients, communities, and healthcare professionals. We focus on meeting people where they are, whether that is at international medical conferences, in primary care practices, or directly within communities at risk.
Our work spans the full education continuum. We share timely insights from leading liver and metabolic conferences through FLA Live. We deliver community-based education and awareness through Your Liver, Your Health events. We provide walk-in, non-clinical education using non-invasive tools through the Liver Health Awareness Centre. And we equip frontline clinicians through professional education, including our annual Primary Care Summit.
Across all programs, FLA’s role is consistent: to make complex science understandable, relevant, and actionable, and to help individuals and providers recognize liver risk earlier, before irreversible disease develops.
FLA does not diagnose or treat disease. We educate, contextualize risk, and encourage informed follow-up within the healthcare system. Our work is grounded in lived experience, real-world data, and collaboration with researchers, clinicians, and global liver organizations.
By advancing education across global, local, and individual levels, the Fatty Liver Alliance works to close the gap between knowledge and action in liver and metabolic health.
