Promising Practices in Home and Community-Based Services: Rhode Island - Case Management that Follows Offenders out the Prison Gates

The Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, operates an intensive case management program for people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who are leaving prison. The 18-month program improves continuity of care following prison release by providing social services support and addressing barriers to medical care. Since February 1997, Project Bridge has served 135 men and women. The program received the Health Resources and Service Administration’s Russell E. Brady Award in August 2002 for creating an innovative program model that ensures continuum of care for HIV-positive inmates and drug detoxification clients."
