Starting the Year with Purpose – Invest in Your Future

January is American Health Month, and we’re kicking off 2026 by investing in the future of correctional health care.

Starting the year with purpose means investing in your greatest asset: YOURSELF! As correctional health care continues to evolve, professionals who seek out education and growth shape the field’s future.

The NCCHC Foundation offers opportunities designed to help you expand your skills, strengthen your network, and deepen your impact. From scholarships to mentorship to upcoming preceptorship opportunities, we’re committed to supporting your path forward.

Elevate your practice. Strengthen your career. Lead with purpose.
Because the future of correctional health care starts with the steps you take today.

Spring Conference Scholarship Applications are now open!
If you’re an early-career professional – a student who is interested in correctional health care or you are employed but still in your first two years of correctional health care and passionate about improving patient care behind the walls, this is your opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. Deadline: January 20th at Noon (CST)
