Community Transition Program CHNCT recently launched a Community Transition Program (CTP) for members recently released from prison. This program will allow CHNCT staff to help these HUSKY Health members with their needed medical and SDOH support to maximize the opportunity for a successful transition back into the community. By creating the CTP and working closely with reentry programs, CHNCT will effectively provide ongoing support for HUSKY Health members reentering the community, ensuring they have access to the equitable healthcare services and community resources they need to support their transition.

As we emerge from the latest COVID-19 wave, there are strategies to help further prevent the spread of the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all individuals who can be vaccinated should get vaccinated as soon as possible. The vaccine is available for those over the age of five years old. If you have been vaccinated, it is recommended that you receive a booster once eligible. Boosters are currently available for those 12 years and older. More information on vaccines can be found on the CDC’s website.
