     A public health nonprofit closing the health gap for people returning home from incarceration.

    About Us

     MidWest ProHealth Initiative is a nonprofit public health organization working across the United States, originating from the Midwest. We close the post-release health gap for people returning home from incarceration through three connected pillars: health education inside correctional facilities, care coordination through the transition home, and continuity of care after release. 

    Our Mission

     To close the post-release health gap for people returning home from incarceration through evidence-based education, coordination, and continuity of care. 

    Our Vision

     A future where every person, regardless of their legal history, has continuous access to dignified health care from before release through every step home. 

    Our Values


    Health Equity

    Health education is a human right, not a privilege. Our work starts and ends with this commitment.



     


     

    Community-Centered

    We build trust inside facilities and communities before programming — relationships come first.

      

    Trauma-Informed

    We recognize lived experiences and apply trauma-informed principles across all programming.



    Dignity First

    Every individual is engaged with respect and without judgment. Incarceration does not reduce a person’s humanity.

     


    Evidence-Based

    Programs grounded in peer-reviewed science and aligned with federal public health frameworks.



     



    CORE AREAS

    Health Education Inside

      A structured curriculum delivered before release, covering chronic disease management, mental health and substance use, infectious disease prevention, and reentry health preparedness. People learn to understand and manage their health while there is still time to plan for what comes next.

    CORE AREAS

    Transition Coordination

     Coverage enrollment, medication bridge planning, primary care warm handoffs, and behavioral health continuity in the days before and after release. The bridge between inside and out. 

    CORE AREAS

    Community Continuity

    Ongoing support after release through provider connections, navigation assistance, and care coordination during the months when people are most at risk of falling out of care. 

    Ready to bring this work to your facility?

    We partner with correctional systems to deliver health education before release and to coordinate continuity of care for the days and months after. If you're a facility administrator, healthcare partner, or community organization working in this space, we'd like to start a conversation.
