The Transitions Clinic at Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center
is dedicated to addressing the unique health and social needs of individuals who have recently been released from incarceration. Our clinic operates
in partnership with the nationwide Transitions Clinic Network (TCN), which consists of over 40 primary care centers committed to providing comprehensive care for this vulnerable population. Our goal is to support our patients in achieving stable health and successful reintegration into the community.
Our Approach
At Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center's Transitions Clinic, we understand that individuals transitioning from incarceration face numerous challenges, including chronic health conditions and substance use disorders. In collaboration with Yale and as part of a grant-funded program, our clinic provides a supportive environment where patients can receive personalized care from a team that includes a culturally-competent healthcare provider and community health workers who have experienced incarceration themselves. This unique combination of professional and lived experience enables us to offer empathetic and effective care tailored to the needs of our patients.
Services Offered

Research and Impact
Studies have shown that the Transitions Clinic Network's model is effective in reducing emergency department visits, lowering the likelihood of reincarceration, and decreasing the number of days individuals spend incarcerated. By facilitating direct referrals from correctional systems to our clinic, we ensure that patients receive timely and coordinated care, which significantly improves their health and reduces the need for acute care services.
