Upcoming NHCN Engagement Series

Date: 09/09/20

On behalf of the National Hepatitis Corrections Network, Louisiana Healthcare Connections would like to share with providers a series of virtual educational events for people involved in viral hepatitis work in correctional settings. There will be two types of engagement events: Engagement Calls and Engagement Webinars. This series is open to NHCN members and members of the public.  

Engagement Calls:

Calls will offer an opportunity for network members to share best practices/emerging research and troubleshoot unique local and regional challenges to addressing viral hepatitis among justice-involved populations given current challenges. These calls will bring members together in small groups and will be facilitated by leaders in the field.
