Why choose a career with Correctional Health Services?
Providing healthcare in the jail setting offers unique challenges and learning opportunities. Due to the range of medical conditions and complex cases in jails, the professional experience gained through this career is unlike any other setting. Working with Correctional Health Services can improve critical thinking and crisis management, strengthen assessment skills, and enhance communication and cultural sensitivity.
The medical care provided through Correctional Health Services in our jails is often the first time our patients have seen a doctor in several years. Our caring and dedicated staff help patients manage their chronic conditions, diagnose life-threatening illnesses, and provide support throughout rehabilitation.
