Justice & Health Equity Services
Individuals involved in the criminal legal system have disproportionally higher rates of health problems. Our services bring cost-effective, quality healthcare to prisons so individuals can receive the care they deserve—and continuity of it upon return to their communities so that their healthcare needs are still covered.
What Challenges You
Everyone deserves quality healthcare. Yet historically marginalized populations, including those involved in the legal system, have had limited healthcare access, both inside facilities and in the communities where they’re released.
Delivering equitable, cost-effective medical and mental healthcare to incarcerated populations and continuing to coordinate access to care upon release takes specialized knowledge, awareness, and expertise.

Our clinical team manages direct patient care in hospital and healthcare settings, while operational and financial teams meet clients’ diverse needs with access to medical providers who understand the needs of this complex population. We work to improve the well-being of justice-involved individuals to prepare them to return healthier to the community.
