What makes correctional health care partnerships succeed—and what causes them to fail? Drawing from a structured survey of regional jail administrators, this session offers a rare look into how county officials evaluate health care providers, sustain long-term contracts, and decide when change is necessary. Participants will gain valuable insight into the priorities, pressures, and decision-making dynamics shaping correctional health care systems today.
