We are happy to share our recent participation in the Toledo Correctional Institution (ToCI) Health & Reentry Fair, which took place on September 20th. This event was a testament to CHT’s dedication to improving the lives of those transitioning back into their communities after incarceration.

During the event, Compassion Health set up a booth where attendees could learn more about our services and engage with our caring staff. We offered information on resources available to support the health and well-being of individuals seeking to reintegrate into their communities. Our team was on hand to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure attendees had access to the information needed to make a successful transition.

The ToCI Health & Reentry Fair was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the community and strengthen our ties with local organizations working toward similar goals. We forged partnerships, shared insights, and collaborated with others passionate about helping individuals make a fresh start.

Our participation was a meaningful step in our ongoing mission to provide compassionate care and support to individuals transitioning out of incarceration. We are excited about the future and the opportunities to make a difference in our community. We will continue to participate in events like the ToCI Health & Reentry Fair and actively seek out opportunities to positively impact the lives of those in need.

Compassion Health Toledo proudly joined the Lucas County Health Department's Patient Advocacy Event, alongside Ohio Health Literacy and other esteemed health leaders.

These screens along with the screenings for diabetes and blood pressure garnered exceptional participation, underscoring the significance of Compassion Health's commitment to our community. Witnessing our community come together in celebration was indeed heartwarming.
