We welcome Major Shaun Klucznik, CJM, MA, CCHP, Hernando County Sheriff's Office as a Certified Correctional Health Professionals.
Major Klucznik, who also serves as President of the American Jail Association, earned this professional certification on July 1, 2025, after demonstrating mastery of national standards and the knowledge expected of leaders working in correctional health care. He now joins a national community of over 4,400 correctional health care professionals.
The CCHP credential is recognized as a symbol of professional achievement and commitment to excellence. It reflects a deep understanding of the standards and guidelines essential to delivering appropriate health care in correctional environments, as well as the ethical and legal responsibilities tied to that care.
During his visit, NCCHC Resources Managing Director Fred Meyer toured the facility and met with detention and medical staff to discuss the importance of certification, continuous improvement, and the upcoming updates to the NCCHC standards. Fred also serves on the Board of Directors for the the American Jail Association.
Established in 1989, the CCHP program was the first to recognize professionalism and excellence in correctional health care.
Certification is awarded to individuals who meet eligibility requirements and pass a national examination governed by the CCHP Board of Trustees.
Congratulations to Major Klucznik on achieving this important milestone and for continuing to lead by example in advancing the standards of care in local jails.
