Correctional health care conference to be held in May

The National Commission on Correctional Health Care will hold a conference on updates in correctional health care May 19-22 in San Antonio, Texas.

The theme of the conference will be “Preventing Recidivism: Where Do You Fit In?” and will address the role of good physical and mental health in easing reintegration into society after release from prison. Preconference seminars will address fundamental topics in correctional health care, including the Commission's health services standards. The conference itself will feature more than 50 presentations on a broad range of subjects, including medical care, nursing, cost containment, legal issues and mental health care.
