“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 regarding 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 in September, 2005.  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.”

Director Devenyns enthusiastically commended CONMED regarding “superlative” performance in response to a CRIPA investigation (click here to view entire letter):

“Please accept this letter as an expression of Wicomico County’s sincere gratitude for and appreciation of CONMED HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT INC’S superlative efforts since becoming the Department of Corrections’ medical provider in October 2007.

At that time, the Wicomico County Detention Center was in the process of executing a Settlement Agreement pursuant to a CRIPA investigation conducted by the United States Department of Justice.  In less than 18 short months, CONMED resolved every outstanding issue related to the provision of inmate medical care while establishing a top flight medical program.

Some might say that CONMED was merely fulfilling its contractual obligations but it was far more than that.  The level of support and resources brought to bear at both the corporate and site levels, far exceeded the contractual requirements and Wicomico County’s expectations.”
