Transparency
CorrHealth is the only inmate healthcare provider to deliver true and unfiltered transparency into our financials, our operations, our business practices, and in all aspects of our partnership.
Structured For Your Needs
Our company structure is designed so that we satisfy the requirements set forth to provide the service and care that you and your patients need and deserve, yet small enough to care and provide the personal attention you need.
Qualitypatient care.
We understand what’simportant to you.
Regionally focused and local.
CorrHealth is the only inmate healthcare provider who recruits and employs leaders, travel, and flex nurses who reside within the states we proudly serve. By doing so, we are able to deliver proactive, on-site leadership support more frequently and respond rapidly to the needs of our partners.
High standard of care.
CorrHealth understands that every county has unique, specific needs. Furthermore, we do not believe in a one program or service should fit all mentality when it comes to correctional healthcare. In today’s industry, counties expect a higher standard of care, and inmate patients deserve more than standard off-the-shelf programs and services that have been set forth by other providers. CorrHealth’s partnerships are tailored specifically to meet and exceed the unique and evolving needs of each facility and each individual.
Focus on training.
Our training curriculum begins with new hire orientation and is held in person a few days prior to our transition into a facility. Initial training includes:
· HR familiarization with benefits and pay schedules
· CorrHealth’s policies
· Courses from our Learning Management system
· Clinical and mental health overview
· CorEMR training
· PowerDMS
Plus, team members begin training at the facilities with specific policies and procedures related to their job function. They must pass competency tests before being allowed to function on their own in the facility(ies).
There is a 90-day performance evaluation for coaching the team member and our leadership team monitors their progress, answers any questions, and makes sure they are on track for success.
Maximize on-site programs and services and minimizing unnecessary off-site transports.
CorrHealth’s programs and services are designed to maximize on-site programs and services, reduce inmate movement and decrease costly, risk-laden, offsite medical-related transports. With partnerships built over many years, CorrHealth’s leadership team has established programs with various ancillary (dental, laboratory, x-ray, medical waste, dialysis, OB/GYN, and pharmaceutical) medical and mental health providers who provide professional on-site healthcare programs and services to our inmate population. We also maximize services by proactively retaining, recruiting, hiring/contracting, training, and supporting locally based medical and mental healthcare providers who understand our commitment to our partner-counties and our communities.
Reduced costs.
As concerns for rising costs continue in the industry, CorrHealth understands that our counties have a responsibility to provide and maintain critical medical and mental health care services for their inmates, to ensure safety and security at their facilities, and be good stewards of the county’s tax dollar. CorrHealth partners with our counties to assist them in reducing overall costs and mitigate risk and liability. By reducing off-site transports and maximizing on-site services as well as by providing ongoing support and additional training for our qualified health care teams, we ensure that the goals of the county are a priority as part of our partnership.
Utmost value.
CorrHealth genuinely understands the needs of our partners and the issues they face in their communities today. As your experienced inmate healthcare provider-partner, we have a genuine passion and expertise to meet and exceed those needs. We are uninterested in just doing the status quo, but instead strive to build a relationship based on integrity, transparency, and firm commitment to delivering quality service and support. We are skilled in the unique nuances of operating within state detention and national (NCCHC, ACA, and Federal) industry standards and best practices. Our counties can have confidence that we are hands-on and proactive with ‘boots on the ground’ when our partners need us at a moment’s notice.

Our Customers' Stories
What are they saying?
In a recent surprise jail inspection from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, our inspector stated, ‘While most of the jails around the state are providing adequate levels of care, CorrHealth is doing right. Their program is spectacular and one the rest of the state should be following.’
Zena Stephens
Knowing our provider’s ownership ensures a trust-based relationship, it ensures our goals are aligned and it ensures decisions are made locally and immediately. We needed a provider who had the ability and willingness to be creative and think outside the box and adjust on the fly, CorrHealth has done just that. Their ownership and leadership team were heavily engaged from the very start.
Ricky Armstrong
With less than a week as our new inmate health care provider and during a routine med pass, one of CorrHealth’s nurses noticed one of our Officers looking sweaty and pale and immediately directed her attention to assessing him and his health. Apparently, his appendix had just burst, and he was immediately rushed to the hospital where he had emergency surgery. As a direct result of CorrHealth’s Nurses’ attention to detail and their skill set, Officer Carbajal was able to go home to his family that night, he’s healthy and has returned to work. I think Officer Carbajal and his family would agree that we made the right decision by partnering with CorrHealth.
Adam Hilliard
Partnering with CorrHealth is one of the best decisions Wichita County has made since I’ve held the Captain position. I sleep much better at night knowing CorrHealth is here, having CorrHealth here helps our operation run much more smoothly, and I highly recommend them to any agency looking for a professional organization who does what they say they’ll do and seeking a true and highly engaged partnership.
Lisa Patterson
Our disciplinaries and assaults have decreased since CorrHealth has been here, and we believe we can attribute CorrHealth and their programming with that result. CorrHealth has implemented and manages several groups and the feedback we’ve received from inmates has been encouraging. Inmate feedback has included letters thanking us for the programs we’re offering, and many cite learning about boundaries, understanding their triggers, and learning coping skills which they now recognize as causes for their negative behaviors and ultimately their incarceration.
