Present at NCCHC 2026 Mental Health Care or National Conferences

Correctional health care continues to evolve—and the professionals working in the field are leading that progress every day. Presenting at an NCCHC Conference is an opportunity to share your expertise, strengthen the workforce, and help advance quality patient care across jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities nationwide.

NCCHC is now accepting presentation proposals for two major events in 2026: the Correctional Mental Health Care Conference (July 19–20 in Austin) and the National Conference on Correctional Health Care (October 26–28 in Las Vegas). Whether your work is clinical, operational, research-based, or administrative, your experience can make a meaningful impact.

Improve the Field—and Patient Care

By presenting, you help translate evidence, best practices, and real-world lessons into actionable knowledge for colleagues across the country. NCCHC conferences bring together multidisciplinary audiences, creating a powerful forum for learning that directly supports safer systems, better outcomes, and higher-quality patient care.

Share Your Expertise and Mentor Others

Presenters play a critical role in developing the next generation of correctional health professionals. Sharing your successes, challenges, and lessons learned helps peers avoid common pitfalls, strengthen programs, and grow professionally. It’s an opportunity to mentor others while elevating the entire field.

Choose a Format That Fits Your Message

NCCHC offers multiple presentation formats to suit different types of content and experience levels, including educational sessions, research presentations, roundtable discussions, lightning talks, and posters. From interactive sessions to concise, high-energy talks, there’s a format designed to showcase your work effectively.

Gain Professional Visibility and Recognition

Presenting at NCCHC’s national conferences positions you as a thought leader in correctional health care. It enhances your professional profile, supports career development, and demonstrates your commitment to advancing standards, accountability, and innovation in the field.
