Correctional Health Services

At Los Angeles County Correctional Health, we’re remaking the nation’s largest county-run correctional health system by striving to improve healthcare for a uniquely underserved population. On any given day, around 20,000 people are housed in one of the county’s jail facilities and for many of them, jail was the inevitable result of untreated mental or physical illness. Our focus is on social justice medicine, compassionate whole-person care, community partnerships, and professional growth.
