Posters play a critical role in advancing correctional health care. They provide a practical, accessible way to share innovation, highlight real-world outcomes, and spark conversations among professionals who are working to solve complex challenges every day. Whether presenting data, program models, or quality improvement initiatives, posters help translate knowledge into action.
In response to the Education Committee’s request for greater visibility, NCCHC introduced a new Best Poster Award this year. Committee members had the opportunity to review and vote on the posters, recognizing the outstanding work being done across the field. The top poster was awarded a blue ribbon on Sunday evening by Sylvie Stacy, MD, MPH, CCHP-CP, chair of the Education Committee. All of the Spring Conference posters can be viewed on the event website.
