This fall is an important moment for work within APHA for jail and prison health. In October, Bobby Cohen will represent APHA in the Netherlands as an observer at the World Health Organization Health in Prison Project (HIPP) annual meeting. Members of WHO HIPP and the UK Prison Health Service will attend the APHA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., where we will host a study session on Sunday on International Collaborations for Prison Health. We are pleased to announce that John Boyington will present information about how the UK has integrated its prison medical care into the National Health Service, and Lars Moller will discuss the work of WHO HIPP. Anyone interested in details of our work or sessions at the Annual Meeting, please contact Corey Weinstein at <coreman@igc.org>.
