Grateful for Dr. Rachael Bedard's visit to SEICHE. Her work as geriatrician, palliative care physician, and writer at the intersection of incarceration and health resonates and inspires. Thanks to Yale School of Medicine Yale Internal Medicine and Yale Med Humanities for hosting her!

For Black History Month, we remember NY's Attica prison uprising in '71 against appalling conditions & mistreatment. Protestors demanded improved healthcare and other human rights. We continue working towards health equity for those impacted by mass incarceration.

"Physicians must resist state pressure to participate in the increasing medicalisation of executions, because although their participation might be legal, it is far from ethical," say Laura Bairett and Emily Wang Wang in this The BMJ opinion piece. bmj.com/content/384/bm…

This @JLME issue highlights the development of the Medical Leadership Partnership @ Lifespan Transitions Clinic in RI to address patients' criminal legal needs, and a SEICHE study exploring the association between legal needs post incarceration, stress, and cardiovascular risk.

Monya Saunders spoke on the importance of having health workers with lived experience. “Having a community health worker with lived experience provides individuals returning home with compassionate care and builds trust with the systems we help them navigate." 1/2 Transitions Clinic

"Being there to support them and sharing my experience gives them that hope and helps them get the resources they need to be great. Those with lived experience are the best to advocate for this population. We understand and know the barriers. We see the cracks in the system.” 2/2

For reentry month we remember and honor the legacy of community health worker Jerry Smart, who connected countless incarceration-impacted people to medical care and social support in New Haven. We miss you Jerry.

For reentry month we celebrate our community health worker Monya Saunders, who founded the Women's Healing Hearts Support Group for incarceration-impacted women in New Haven. Thank you Monya for creating a safe space that empowers women and brings hope!

For Black History Month, we recognize Dr. George Simkins’ role in prohibiting racial segregation by hospitals. Preceding the Civil Rights Act, he won a landmark 1963 case against a North Carolina hospital, making racial segregation illegal in a hospital setting.

It’s National Sleep Month! 💤 Our very own Dr. Johanna E. Elumn led a study on how incarceration impacts sleep, from safety concerns to treatment access. Sleep matters for overall health, and we're working to better understand these challenges! #SEICHE #SleepHealth

This Reentry Month, we spotlight TC-HUB—a pilot program supporting people with complex health needs after incarceration. Nurse Care Coordinator Najea Poindexter shares how her lived experience fuels her work connecting returning individuals to care and resources. #ReentryMonth
