Christine worked with all populations within Indiana Department of Correction from 2015-2022, developing programming, education and training, multiple contracts and MOUs, and partnering

with governmental agencies and community providers to reduce recidivism. Christine established Transitional Healthcare within 22 state correctional facilities and 10 parole districts,developing a continuum of care between jails and prisons, community corrections, parole and

probation. Christine put a spotlight on special populations with high rates of return including mothers, fathers, geriatrics, those with long-term sentences, and those with severe behavioral health and physical health issues.Christine assumed oversight of the Officer Breann Leath Memorial Maternal Child Health Unit

in 2019, and along with Maranda Williams, transformed the unit from a punitive model to a medical model focusing on education and support. This unit partnered with Mothers on the Rise

to create a full continuum of care for mother-baby pairs, resulting in zero returns for the women participating in the program. This unit became the national and global model for maternal-child health within a correctional facility. Transitional Healthcare was further evaluated using de-identified Medicaid claims data to have reduced return rates for those with severe physical and behavioral health diagnoses. Christine currently works on several global projects and serves on the International Corrections and Prisons Association’s Healthcare Network, developing models of care using research, practice, and policy development serving 74 countries.
