The integration of mental health treatment into county jails has marked a significant positive shift in the American criminal justice system. Since its inception in the 1970s, this new model has transformed the approach from purely punitive to a more comprehensive model of rehabilitation and care.

It’s time to highlight someone whose leadership and expertise help drive many of CorrHealth’s most important initiatives—Krista Montgomery, our Director of Finance. While Krista serves in a remote role, she is closely connected to every aspect of our organization, playing an integral part in strategic projects, financial oversight, and day-to-day operations. Her influence can be seen—and felt—throughout CorrHealth’s continued growth and success.

At the Adams County Detention Facility (ACDF), it doesn’t take long for Andrea Pasillas, LPN, to be noticed. Whether assisting in Med Pass, Booking, Detox, or Sick Call, Andrea brings a calm confidence, a collaborative spirit, and a contagious smile to every shift. As part of the CorrHealth team in Adams County, she’s known for her clinical skills and adaptability, compassion, and unwavering positivity.

Today, we celebrate not just eight years of CorrHealth but also the purpose, passion, and people that continue to move us forward with a relentless commitment to always “Do Right” in all we serve and support and in everything we do.
