ABOUT CPS
Correctional Psychiatric Services, P.C., is a Massachusetts-based company and a Minority-Business Enterprise (MBE) with more than 27 years of providing expert management, clinical leadership, and medical and behavioral services for numerous correctional facilities across New England.
At CPS, we recognize that every site is unique, and we work with each site to optimize and customize healthcare delivery at each facility. Unlike the large national vendors, CPS focuses on providing personalized administration and customer service. We offer the same array of services as the national vendors and deliver it in a cost effective and efficient manner.
Our outstanding reputation for high quality care and our desire to form solid partnerships with our clients have allowed us to become the proven choice for correctional facilities that want a hands-on approach from a comprehensive medical vendor.
WHY CPS HEALTH CARE?
Correctional medicine and mental health treatment offer new and exciting career opportunities. Health care providers in a correctional environment treat the same chronic diseases and mental illnesses that are seen in the community. In the rapidly changing healthcare industry, private practice physicians and mid-level practitioners may find correctional healthcare extremely appealing. Without the headaches associated with insurance paperwork practitioners have more time to focus on providing healthcare.
In many ways the correctional health unit is safer than your local Emergency Room. Our providers receive orientation and training, work closely with and are supervised by correctional staff. Detainees and inmates are more stable and their medical and mental health needs are proactively managed from the time they are admitted to the facility.
Practitioners are exposed to a variety of specialties including emergency medicine, internal medicine and chronic disease management, addictions, obstetrics and women's health, and psychiatry. The patient population is largely high risk with demographic factors such as low income and significantly impoverished populations, high elderly populations and those with a high infant mortality.
