Please join us for this webinar: From Jail to Care: Connecting People to Hope During and After Incarceration. Why this matters:
1) The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world.
2) People living in correctional facilities are approximately 3 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS and are more likely to have hepatitis.
3) Barriers to health care contribute to morbidity and mortality post release.
4) Enhanced connection to primary care home reduces incarceration time for individuals.

After completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1) Identify barriers to healthcare for people experiencing incarceration.
2) Identify strategies for reducing barriers to care for people recently incarcerated.
3) Identify overdose and harm reduction resources to help patients survive post-release.
