As a commitment to the safety and well-being of its inmates, the
Wyoming Department of Corrections (WDOC) is proud to announce its
new partnership with leading correctional healthcare company,
NaphCare. Through a recently awarded contract, NaphCare will
oversee healthcare services across the WDOC’s five correctional
facilities beginning July 1, 2024. To prepare for the start-up of
services, NaphCare will provide transition services in May and June
of 2024.
Through this partnership, NaphCare will provide medical, mental
health, dental, and pharmaceutical care for inmates housed in
WDOC’s facilities. The WDOC will also integrate NaphCare’s
corrections-specific electronic health record and comprehensive
medical management system, TechCare, to efficiently connect
clinical protocols to inmates’ specific needs and deliver reliable
recordkeeping compliant with national standards. These innovative
solutions aim to improve care delivery, staff efficiency and
communication, compliance, documentation, and reporting across all
WDOC correctional facilities.
“NaphCare is honored to partner with the Wyoming Department of
Corrections as an extension of our mission to improve and save
lives in corrections,” said Brad McLane, NaphCare Chief Executive
Officer. “We’re dedicated to elevating the health and welfare of
every patient through our innovative solutions and look forward to
serving the state of Wyoming.”
“The WDOC looks forward to this new evolution in health care
delivery for Wyoming's incarcerated individuals. NaphCare brings a
lot of energy and compassion into this partnership, and we are
confident in their ability to provide quality care,” said Daniel
Shannon, Director of the WDOC. “I also want to provide recognition
to our previous provider for their years of service to those who
were confined, and I certainly appreciate the staff members who are
willing to continue providing services to our State.”
