Correctional Medical Services, Inc. (CMS), the nation’s leading provider in correctional healthcare services, was recently awarded a contract with the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections (LMDC) in Louisville, Ky. Valued at more than $5 million annually, the contract is for one year with the potential of being extended for four additional one-year contracts. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with CMS,” said Mark Bolton, Corrections Director at Louisville Metro Government. “Among the five organizations that bid on this contract, CMS was selected based on their experience, references, litigation history, cost effectiveness and our previous history with them.” The LMDC medical department consists of more than 100 CMS employees that provide care for approximately 2110 incarcerated individuals. The LMDC medical department serves the Youth Detention Center, Jail Complex, Community Corrections Center and the Police Building. CMS partnered with the LMDC previously from 1984 – 2005 and then again from 2007 – 2010. During those service periods CMS and LMDC accomplished many shared objectives in providing a quality correctional healthcare program to the Metro Government based on community standards of care.
