Conference Update

Guessed it was coming? We are sad to announce this year's conference will be delayed. 

Dear <<First Name>>

WACHSA is postponing the 2020 fall conference, out of concern for the health and safety of our attendees, partners, and jail and prison communities. We remain fully committed to bringing “Leveraging Technology in Correctional Health Care” to our community and members and will hold the conference when the timing is right for public safety.

WACHSA Board is currently looking toward late February or early March 2021. 

Western American Correctional Healthcare Services Association

Stay safe and healthy 

Stay tuned for updates,  February-March 2021

United States House of Representatives: H.R. 6800 - The Heroes Act
On May 15, the United States House of Representatives passed The Heroes Act (H.R. 6800) which included a key provision relating to the health of justice-involved individuals. Section 30110 of this legislation would amend the Social Security Act to allow for Medicaid to pay for services to detained individuals thirty days before release. If the Senate were to also include this provision in its legislation, it would result in a substantial step forward to removing the discontinuities in the health care system caused by the inmate exception.
