Caring for the Convict After Release


TOMA/TXACOFP 17th Annual Convention


Patients incarcerated for any amount of time face unique health challenges. There is a public health crisis in our correctional facilities, and it leads to spillover effects within surrounding communities. Join us as we discuss what this unique patient population needs with regards to their healthcare and what obstacles they face when trying to access our services. Learn what to look for in your previously incarcerated patients so that you can provide optimal care for them.

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the most common health conditions amongst incarcerated patients
  2. List obstacles that limit healthcare provision for inmates, especially after their release
  3. Discover SDOH that impact inmate health
