The RIDOC Correctional Healthcare VISTA will help support our projects including executing public health programming and education, performing a health needs assessment of incarcerated individuals, assessing novel projects e.g., a naloxone vending machine, and build capacity to best provide for our patients. This project offers flexibility in allowing a member to identify projects of interest and work closely with individuals inside the facility.

In pursuit of this mission, RIDOC works to be a model system for other facilities around the nation to replicate.
