Legal Action Center’s (LAC) No Health = No Justice Initiative Virtual Healthcare Practitioners’ Roundtable

The Legal Action Center’s (LAC) No Health = No Justice Initiative would like to invite you to a virtual healthcare practitioners’ roundtable on Wednesday, November 5th, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. EST. This conversation is intended for professionals who provide healthcare and health-related supportive services to currently and formerly incarcerated individuals. This includes counselors, nurses, physicians, social workers, primary care and specialty care practitioners, mental health and substance use treatment and recovery providers, harm reductionists, and any other health care provider who offers care to this population.

The purpose of this roundtable is to:

·         Uplift the health care needs of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people.

·         Cultivate a community of caring providers who are serving this population.

·         Foster information sharing around innovative programs that serve these populations, best practices for helping people to access care, and federal policy developments important to this work.

·         Support providers in states that have not expanded Medicaid eligibility to explore innovative ways to connect the reentering population to care.

·         Gather insights that can inform state implementation planning for states that have an approved Medicaid reentry Section 1115 waiver (demonstration) project.
