We believe that our clients have a right to our personal best performance in everything we do — without exception. Our foremost responsibility is to make intelligent commitments and to be uncompromising in our efforts to fulfill them.

• Reputation for Excellence by Meeting or Exceeding All Industry Standards
  Our medical and behavioral health clinicians have established many standards in the correctional healthcare industry.  In fact, we set standards significantly beyond industry
  norms in many areas that often cause risk — consistently achieving certifications from auditing organizations, high healthcare employee retention, low grievance rates and lack of litigation — all critical issues that support and validate consistent quality of care, dependability and value management.

• Integrity, Quality Care and Experience
  Our recruiting, training, and managing standards match or exceed the highest level of correctional healthcare standards in the industry.    

• Innovations and Value
  We continue to develop many new patient-centric protocols to support higher industry standards, including electronic medical recordkeeping and reporting to support new levels of cost-efficient excellence and accountability in correctional healthcare management.

Great opportunity confers great responsibility to care for those with whose well-being we have been entrusted and to serve the members of the correctional community.

Our core mission at CONMED is about serving the health and well-being of people under our care with dedication, compassion, and the delivery of high-quality, healthcare services.

This can be witnessed in how we honor the rich opportunity to make a difference each day and through each life we serve by demonstrating great pride, professionalism, and the highest integrity in our work.

Ultimately, it is our goal is to be recognized in the correctional healthcare field as the preeminent provider of distinctive municipal and county level correctional healthcare services, and to be respected nationally for the value, innovation and quality of our people and programs, thereby serving our clients, the communities where we practice, our employees, and our shareholders.

We deliver care without compromise, in the ethical performance of their duties, with the knowledge that they’re surrounded by a culture of honesty, reliability and integrity.
