In partnership with the Community Clinics Initiative of the Tides Foundation, JOCHS is piloting its approach to health care for vulnerable juveniles brought to detention in several counties in California. At present, JOCHS is finalizing site selection, and will post information soon regarding those selections.

The Juvenile Justice Center in Alameda County, CA, pioneered a similar, integrated approach to juvenile health and support services that became the inspiration for JOCHS. Alameda is one of the first juvenile detention centers in the nation to integrate public health with public safety, and JOCHS is tapping into that experience to learn from its successes and challenges.
