The Healthcare Complex services the medical needs of approximately 10,000 inmates. CPHC has in-house physician coverage twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. Patients treated at this facility range from acute inpatient to domiciliary. Skilled, intermediate ambulatory/outpatient nursing care is available at CPHC. The Complex operates numerous specialty outpatient clinics, including orthopedics, neurology, general surgery, and ENT. Other specialty services are available by transporting inmates to preferred providers in nearby towns. The outpatient clinics are extremely active requiring frequent access to advanced diagnostics such as CT, MRI and Ultrasound. In order to reduce costs and expand the Department’s in-house healthcare capabilities to accommodate and centralize the chronically infirmed or debilitated Offender population, the Department has established a designated Long-Term Acute Care Unit located within the Central Prison Healthcare Complex. To support and accomplish this mission, the Department intends to contract with a qualified Vendor to provide complete nursing services to effectively manage and staff the newly established Long-Term Acute Care Unit;
