Health Services

Overview

Joe Bugher, Assistant Director

Health Services provides health care to adults in custody at each institution. State and federal laws ensure AICs are entitled to health care during incarceration.

Health care services to AICs must be comparable to health care provided in the community. This means that all types and levels of health care must be provided in a clinically appropriate manner by properly credentialed professionals in settings equipped and designed for the delivery of health care. Health care includes medical, dental, psychiatric, and mental health services.
