On this Veterans Day, NCCHC proudly honors all who have served in the United States Armed Forces — including the many veterans who now dedicate their skills and compassion to caring for patients in correctional settings and our colleagues in custody operations.

Veterans bring a unique sense of duty, discipline, and teamwork to the challenging work of correctional health care. Whether serving as clinicians, mental health professionals, administrators, or custody officers and leaders, their continued commitment to service strengthens our shared mission: to ensure quality care for all incarcerated individuals.

We also recognize the men and women who are veterans in our patient populations. Providing appropriate, trauma-informed, and respectful care to those who have served is an important part of our collective responsibility.

To all veterans — past and present — we thank you for your service, your leadership, and your example of dedication to others.

Happy Veterans Day from all of us at NCCHC
