"In corrections, you get to do something for you and you're also serving your country. It's a service to your community and to your country."
- Matthew Carpenter, Chief of Unit Management
Correctional Health Care with CCA
CCA’s commitment to progressive management is strongly evidenced in its medical facilities with qualified personnel, professional clinic-like settings, and specialized experience in corrections medicine. All medical departments adhere to standardized regulations or are certified by the American Correctional Association, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and/or the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
These organizations work to improve the quality of health care provided in jails, prisons, and juvenile confinement facilities by developing and maintaining nationally recognized standards for correctional health care. CCA prides itself on employing physicians and nurses experienced in providing high-quality care specific to inmates’ needs.
Medical staff are backed by a regional network of medical professionals across the country and are led by a talented team at the Facility Support Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Additionally, CCA facilities utilize Inmate Management System 2 (IMS2), a revolutionary computer program that automates medical records, scheduling, medication administration, pill call and pharmacy services; reducing paperwork, filing and wait times.
