Encouraging teams in Eddy County.
As a community that had always been self-operated, Eddy County began considering contracting with an outside provider to support their medical director services and avoid increases in litigation and threats of suit being experienced in the State of New Mexico, and to raise the standard of care for their inmate patients and support for their teams. CorrHealth successfully transitioned into Eddy County in June 2021.
