What do Prison Health Clinics/Centers do?
Prison health clinics provide a comprehensive range of medical, dental, and mental health services to incarcerated individuals, including routine care, chronic disease management, urgent care, and specialized treatments.
These facilities operate within correctional settings to offer care consistent with community standards, manage infectious diseases, provide medication, and offer substance use treatment.
The goal is to promote health within the correctional system and prepare individuals for a healthy return to the community.
Key Services Offered
Medical Care: This includes intake health screenings, routine physical exams, diagnosis and treatment of short-term illnesses, and management of long-term chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Dental Services: On-site dental care is available to address oral health needs.
Mental Health Services: Clinics provide access to psychiatric services, counseling, crisis intervention, and inpatient mental health programs for various behavioral health conditions.
Chronic Care: Dedicated clinics manage ongoing health issues such as asthma, congestive heart failure, and other long-term diseases.
Specialty and Acute Care: Services are provided for highly specialized or serious medical needs, including dialysis, end-of-life care, and on-site emergency care. For care beyond their on-site capacity, inmates are transported to community hospitals.
