“In times of complexity and change, it is more critical than ever to entrust the management of your institution’s healthcare to the right team of professionals.”
While I made that statement more than a year ago, this message has become more relevant today, borne out by our country’s increasing economic challenges and pressures, and the increasing need
for quality, effective, and affordable healthcare.
Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. (CONMED) believes that times of great challenge are also times of great opportunity. We have borne this out this past year by increasing our contracts to county/municipal correctional facilities significantly by organic growth and acquisition, and by
maintaining our financial soundness and value.
Our strategy as a company is to continue to provide the highest quality, cost-effective healthcare available to the correctional community, to grow our company and explore avenues to expand the services we offer to our customers, and to retain our reputation for excellence, innovation, and integrity. I am proud to report that we accomplished this in November 2008 with the acquisition
of Correctional Mental Health Services, LLC (CMHS) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc.
CMHS, founded by its president, Stephen Goldberg, M.D., is a leader and an innovative provider
of behavioral and mental health services to the correctional community. CMHS brings a multi-disciplinary approach to care, state-of-the-art telepsychiatry services, and case management
and aftercare to the mentally ill inmate population.
As a result of this acquisition, CONMED can now provide all our existing and future customers with customized, comprehensive care solutions for both somatic and mental healthcare.
We are also proud to say that in our 25 years of providing healthcare services to the correctional community, CONMED continues to serve every jurisdiction with whom we’ve contracted since 1984. This is a remarkable record and one that is unmatched in this industry. This achievement is a result of CONMED working every day for our customers and our commitment to excellence in the delivery of healthcare.
Our commitment to our customers is to continue to partner with them and provide the highest quality, cost-effective healthcare to the inmate population. Our commitment to our investors is to continue to grow our company with thoughtful and value-added acquisitions with the goal to bring needed disciplines under one umbrella. Our commitment to our company is to keep our focus, maintain our mission, and remember that our most valuable asset is our employees.
We welcome your interest in Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. if you are a correctional institution seeking innovative, cost-effective and quality healthcare solutions; if you are a healthcare professional seeking a rewarding career; or, if you are an investor seeking to be a shareholder in a company vested in quality, growth and value.
