The North Carolina Formerly Incarcerated Transition (FIT) Program coordinates with existing state and local resources to assist formerly incarcerated people experiencing chronic disease with all aspects of successful reentry through linkages to essential medical services. FIT employs specially trained Community Health Workers (CHW) with prior criminal-legal system involvement to coordinate services. The FIT Program is modeled on an evidence-based program developed by the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN). TCN has demonstrated that participants have reduced utilization of emergency services and hospitalizations and fewer days incarcerated. Upon release from the state prison system, individuals are frequently without work, without health insurance, and without a medical home. The FIT Program works with local reentry councils to assist clients in all aspects of reentry to improve chances of successful reentry and reduce recidivism.

The FIT Program is launching a two-year pilot to provide psychiatric and primary care services to individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) releasing from prison into Wake County. This new clinic will be located at UNC WakeBrook, a behavioral health facility in Raleigh, N.C. which provides a continuum of services for people with mental health and/or substance abuse disorders. Clients will be referred for services prior to release from prison and will be seen in the clinic until they are appropriate to transition to a psychiatric provider in the community (approximately six months).

The position will function as the lead member of a highly integrated and interdisciplinary team and work closely with respective internal and external partner agencies.
