Stemming from the need for a change in how McLennan County managed its inmate healthcare programs and services, CorrHealth worked closely with the county to develop a unique and innovative co-management model, which suited their commitments to their employees, community, and taxpayers. The first-of-its-kind, this innovative, co-management model was a significant win for McLennan County’s healthcare team members who were able to remain county employees, while benefiting from CorrHealth’s expertise in training, localized leadership support, and implementation of correctional-based policies and procedures. The model has resulted in a higher standard of care, positive outcomes, maximized onsite programs and services and mitigated the county’s looming risks and liabilities.
