About
The Medical Department has been revamped to bring it up to State & Federal standards and has been an ongoing project since coming into office in 2021. Records, procedures, policies, technology and manpower have been poured into the Medical Dept. so that we are providing the best care that we can for inmates. This has been and will always be a huge liability for the county and essentially for the county taxpayers. That is why it has been crucial to get it right.
On average our Medical Department passes medications to 68 inmates a day (over the counter and prescription meds). Mental Health medications make up more than half of that number. We are reimbursed by the State of Ohio for all Mental Health meds. Medical conducts sick call several times a week in which they see an average of 36 inmates a week (nurse + doctor sick calls).
The jail physician comes to the jail at least once a week and sees an average of 6 inmates per week. Those inmates are escorted to medical by an officer and it takes time and manpower. The medical department consists of 2 RN’s and 1 LPN and 3 Medics to meet the increased needs.
