Primary Care Services

Access to consistent, high-quality primary care is the foundation of an effective correctional healthcare program. CHP provides comprehensive medical services designed to address the routine, acute, and ongoing healthcare needs of individuals throughout their time in custody.

Our clinical teams work within the unique operational demands of correctional facilities to evaluate health concerns, diagnose conditions, provide treatment, and coordinate appropriate follow-up care. From initial health assessments to everyday sick-call visits, our goal is to identify medical needs early and provide timely, clinically appropriate treatment.

Primary care also plays an important role in preventing unnecessary emergency department visits and outside medical transports. Through strong onsite clinical resources, physician oversight, established protocols, and thoughtful care coordination, CHP helps facilities manage healthcare needs efficiently while maintaining a high standard of patient care.

Primary Care Services May Include:

• Intake health assessments and medical screenings
• Routine sick-call evaluations
• Acute illness and injury treatment
• Physical examinations
• Laboratory testing and diagnostic coordination
• Physician and advanced practice provider services
• Medication evaluation and management
• Referrals for specialty care when clinically indicated
• Follow-up after hospitalization or outside treatment
• Patient health education

Our physician-led model emphasizes continuity, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making at every stage of care. By creating a consistent clinical foundation inside the facility, CHP helps improve patient outcomes while supporting safer, more efficient correctional operations.
