Answers To All Your Questions
Corrections and the healthcare services we provide are often misunderstood.
What is correctional healthcare?
Correctional healthcare is the medical treatment provided to incarcerated individuals. This type of healthcare encompasses a wide range of specialties that stretch from physical to behavioral. Correctional healthcare is administered to adults and juveniles within prisons and detention centers.
Why is correctional healthcare necessary?
Correctional healthcare provides essential medical attention to individuals who may not have had prior access to integrated medical services while contributing to the health of communities in the process. The objective of our correctional healthcare is to improve the quality of life before reentering society. Healthcare professionals improve the well-being of their patients’ lives and the communities in which they serve.
What services are included in correctional healthcare?
Correctional healthcare encompasses a vast range of medical services that improve patients’ physical and behavioral health. Inmates have access to all kinds of medical services, such as physical therapy, X-rays, emergency care, OB/GYN, dental, vision, psychiatric care, and more.
Are inmates entitled to the same level of healthcare as people outside of correctional facilities?
Yes, inmates are entitled to the same level of healthcare as people outside of correctional facilities.
What are some challenges in providing correctional healthcare?
A career in correctional healthcare is not for everyone. Providing care in this unique environment can be equally challenging and rewarding. Correctional healthcare professionals will experience the entire spectrum of healthcare conditions. Patients in correctional facilities often face greater vulnerability, emotional trauma, or lack of knowledge of their medical conditions compared to individuals you might encounter in private healthcare settings. Within this challenging environment, there are significant opportunities to provide healing for those who need it most.
What happens to inmates' healthcare upon their release?
When patients are released, they have a 60-day window to enroll in private health coverage from The Marketplace. Former inmates may qualify for special rates and discounted premiums depending on various factors such as income and size of household.

A Correctional Healthcare Company Improving Local Communities
Centurion Health isn’t just about providing quality healthcare—it’s about providing quality healthcare to those who need it most as a form of rehabilitation.
The effects of correctional healthcare don’t start and end within the correctional walls. It extends to the communities in which they reside. When an incarcerated person reenters society, they take with them their experiences during incarceration. For many, incarceration is the only place that our patients have been able to receive whole healthcare services, and correctional healthcare clinicians provide those necessary services each day.
This spirit of service is at the heart of Centurion Health’s identity. The team at Centurion Health takes pride in providing correctional healthcare to those entrusted in our care. We proudly employ large teams of dedicated professionals, including dentists, dental hygienists, mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, and many other healthcare roles. Their contribution to patients’ lives helps them be more prepared to reenter society.
Improving Quality of Life
Additionally, innovative correctional healthcare improves incarcerated patients’ overall quality of life. Just imagine a place where you live for years without a visit to the dentist, therapist, or general health practitioner. Our correctional healthcare workers provide the healthcare services inmates need to become more physically and mentally healthy.
Correctional healthcare helps rehabilitate patients to become healthier members of their communities when they’re ready to reintegrate into society. With the behavioral, emotional, and physical care they receive from Centurion Health’s team of professionals, they will be better equipped to positively impact their communities and carry themselves with renewed confidence and dignity.
