As NCCHC celebrates 50 years of advancing correctional health care, the NCCHC Foundation is looking ahead — investing in the people and programs that will shape the next 50 years.
The recent 50th National Conference on Correctional Health Care in Las Vegas brought the Foundation’s mission to life. Scholarship recipients connected with mentors, professionals explored outstanding education, and supporters came together to invest in the future of correctional health care.
Building the Next Generation of Professionals
The future of correctional health care depends on attracting, developing and supporting qualified professionals.
In 2026, the Foundation awarded 35 in-person scholarships, along with additional virtual scholarships, helping students and early-career professionals access education, networking and mentorship opportunities.
Beyond scholarships, the Foundation is strengthening career pathways through its Career Center and developing National Workforce Development Hub and Preceptor Program. Together, these initiatives help introduce professionals to correctional health care, support career development, and build a stronger workforce for tomorrow.
Help Us Double the Impact
Through the 50 Years Forward year-end campaign, NCCHC will match donations to the Foundation dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 in total matching funds, through December 31.
Thanks to generous supporters, we’ve already raised $12,866 — more than halfway to our goal! With $12,134 left to raise, we have an opportunity to unlock the full match and turn $25,000 in donations into $50,000 to support scholarships, mentorship, workforce development, professional education and reentry initiatives.
When we invest in correctional health professionals, we invest in better care for people in custody and those returning to their communities.
Together, we’re Shaping Tomorrow, Today.
