A Systemwide Approach to Managing Chronically Ill
Patients in Correctional Health Care
August 18, 2007
Fairfax, Virginia

Sponsored by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care and the Academy of Correctional Health Professionals
 
When professionals in correctional health think "leadership" they naturally think of the Academy, the nation's largest correctional health care membership organization. Our reputation as partners with NCCHC in providing the best professional education is wellknown, too.

Now we're bringing compelling educational programs to locations all across the country. With feedback from our members, the education committees of NCCHC and the Academy of Correctional Health Professionals together developed a superb seminar.
