Welcome to the website for the California-Nevada Chapter of the American Correctional Health Association (ACHSA). Our hope is to provide a site where our members, as well as others both currently in the profession or interested in learning about it, can find items of interest.


The stated goal of ACHSA is "to be the voice of the correctional healthcare profession, and to serve as an effective forum for communication addressing current issues and needs confronting correctional healthcare. " As we all know, correctional healthcare provides challenges not encountered elsewhere in medicine, and our clientele are indeed a unique group of individuals. ACHSA allows us a forum, via a professional organization, to network and interface with others in the field. Among other things, the organization provides support, skill development, and education programs for for all levels of individuals involved in correctional healthcare, and helps to provide a sense of community, so we won't feel so isolated.

The California-Nevada chapter is presently the largest state chapter in the country. Other states with chapters include the Chesapeake States (CN, DE, MD, VA), Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Texas, Oregon, Rocky Mountain States (CO, NM, UT, WY), and Washington. The California-Nevada chapter sponsors a conference in September every year, and alternates it between Northern and Southern California, so everybody can have the best chance to attend.

The Board of Directors is always looking for correctional healthcare professionals (both medical and allied health) who wish to become involved in the organization. If you are interested, please send us an e-mail using the mail icon below.
