More than 2 million individuals are housed in our nation’s
correctional institutions. Many of these inmates represent medically
underserved populations. They receive a broad spectrum of health
services ranging from treatment for infectious diseases (e.g.,
hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis) to management of chronic illnesses
(e.g., asthma, diabetes, hypertension) to general health care. They also
receive dental care, mental health care, substance abuse treatment and
health education. To meet this heavy demand for government-mandated
health care, correctional facilities spend nearly $6 billion dollars on
health care services, supplies and equipment each year. And as inmate
populations rise, so do health care expenditures. At the state level,
correctional health care costs have been growing by 10% annually.
If your company offers products or services appropriate for this
market, you need to reach the key decision makers in purchasing and
hiring. How will you find them? Through the Academy of Correctional
Health Professionals.
The Academy of Correctional Health
Professionals, a strategic partner of the National Commission on
Correctional Health Care, is a nonprofit association of 700 correctional
health care professionals from across the country. Our members
rely on the Academy's wealth of programs, services, conferences and
publications to help them do their jobs better.
Learn how the Academy can help you reach your target audience.
