🎲 That's a wrap from Vegas! The Wexford Health team was proud to attend the 50th annual National Commission on Correctional Health Care National Conference in Las Vegas, joining health care professionals, industry leaders, and partners to recognize five decades of education, collaboration, and progress in correctional health care. For 50 years, NCCHC has played an important role in bringing the correctional health care community together to share knowledge, strengthen professional standards, and explore ways to improve care for patients in correctional settings. This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on how far the field has come while recognizing the work that continues to shape its future. Congratulations to NCCHC on 50 years. We are proud to be part of this community and look forward to the work still ahead. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Wexford Health booth! We enjoyed connecting with fellow professionals, exchanging ideas, and having meaningful conversations about the work happening across correctional health care. We look forward to seeing everyone again in San Diego for the spring conference.

Some people have a way of making a difference in more ways than one.

Some people have a way of making a difference in more ways than one. For Jackie Davidson, Medical Assistant at Northeastern New Mexico Correctional Facility in Clayton, NM, that means being someone her coworkers can count on. Whether she's taking on new responsibilities, sharing her knowledge, or finding ways to bring her team together, Jackie understands that being a great teammate goes beyond simply doing your own job well. Before joining Wexford Health, Jackie worked as an EMT and continues to maintain her emergency medical credentials today. Her background in emergency care brings valuable experience and knowledge to her role, along with a willingness to keep learning and take on new challenges. #MedicalAssistantsWeek gives us an opportunity to recognize people like Jackie who bring so much more than their clinical experience to their role. From the knowledge she shares to the relationships she builds, we're grateful for everything she contributes to Wexford Health!

Mental health care is not always about having the perfect words. Sometimes it starts with being there, listening, and giving someone a place to be heard.

Mental health care is not always about having the perfect words. Sometimes it starts with being there, listening, and giving someone a place to be heard. For hashtag#WorldMentalHealthDay, we are recognizing our Mental Health Team at Nueces County for the work they do each day caring for individuals in a correctional setting. Building trust can take time, especially when someone may be struggling to talk about what they are experiencing or unsure about asking for help. Our mental health professionals meet patients in those moments, helping them work through challenges, develop healthier ways to cope, and better understand their own mental health. Today, we are proud to recognize Vanessa Tamayo, LPC, MHP, Samantha Smart, LPC, CCHP, Behavioral Health Director, Melissa Ford, LCSW, MHP, and the commitment they bring to their patients every day. Thank you for being there when someone needs you.

The right care can do more when someone understands the role it plays.

The right care can do more when someone understands the role it plays. For patients, that can mean knowing why a medication has been prescribed, how it supports their health, what to expect from it, and why staying consistent with treatment matters. In correctional healthcare, pharmacy professionals are an important part of making that care possible. Their knowledge supports medication management, helps address questions and concerns, and works alongside the broader healthcare team to help patients receive safe and appropriate treatment. During hashtag#AmericanPharmacistsMonth, we’re recognizing the pharmacy professionals across Wexford Health and the role they play in supporting quality patient care every day. Thank you to our pharmacy teams for the knowledge, attention, and care you bring to your work.

The people who make a difference on a team are often the ones who never hesitate to lend a hand, take initiative, or do a little extra without being asked.

The people who make a difference on a team are often the ones who never hesitate to lend a hand, take initiative, or do a little extra without being asked. For Crystal Davis, Medical Assistant at North Central Regional Jail (NCRJ) in West Virginia, that willingness to go above and beyond is something her colleagues have come to know and appreciate. Recently, as NCRJ prepared for an upcoming NCCHC audit, the facility's pharmacy needed to be painted. When the client was unable to complete the work, Crystal stepped in and took care of it herself. While it may not have been part of her usual responsibilities, it is a great example of the initiative and commitment she brings to her team every day. This Medical Assistants Week, we want to give a special thank you to Crystal for the dedication she brings to NCRJ and her willingness to go above and beyond whenever her team needs her. Your hard work and commitment do not go unnoticed!
