“We began our 'partnership' with CONMED fifteen years ago and we have continued with them ever since renewing with multi-year contracts. 

I say 'partnership' because CONMED’s correctional background permitted a joint security/medical relationship to build that has been effective in controlling costs, and delivering a high degree of medical services and has greatly reduced the number of medical complaints.  Since 1993, we have not been in court for any medical service issue or had to settle any medical-related complaint.”

 “I am happy to provide this statement as an unqualified recommendation for CONMED based upon the exceptional inmate medical services that they have provided to our agency over the years.

We have been most pleased with not only the level of service provided by CONMED, but the considerable cost savings that we have been able to realize in our budget because of their operational efficiencies, resulting in a one-million-dollar savings in the first year alone.

Everyone at our facility is very impressed with their highly professional staff and hospital-quality cleanliness, and we found that the transition to CONMED from the previous vendor was smooth and operationally transparent to both inmates and custody staff alike.  We have also experienced a drop in complaints received from inmates in regards to medical services, and noted an increase in efficiency of detention bureau operations where medical and custodial concerns intersect.”

Director Robertson shared high marks given by one of his inspectors with CONMED: “On my most recent visit, I was extremely pleased with the extent of the progress that has been made in the health delivery system since CONMED took over operations last September.  In a few short months, they and the jail administration have been able to implement virtually all of my prior recommendations and thereby improve the timeliness of service, access to care, and continuity of care.”
