Alliance recently attended the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute’s Office Criminal Justice Services' annual Corrections Health Initiative (CHI) Provider Conference in Albany, NY. Alliance's CHI program staff joined representatives from the NYSDOH AIDS Institute, NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) and dozens of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) providing CHI services.
It was a great opportunity to share success stories, interventions, and brainstorm ways to provide even better pre and post release services in NYS. We spoke at length with fellow CBOs Alliance for Positive Health, ACR Health, Community Access services of Western New York, Hudson valley Community services/cornerstone, PathStone,Corp, Southern Tier Aids Program, Suny Downstate Medical Center, The Osborne Association Inc., Women's Prison Association and Home Inc., and more.
