Medical Bureau
A contract with Weber Human Services provides full-time and on-call mental health services.
A contract with Dr. John Wood provides for one physician, two physician's assistants and a dental provider.
In 2010, we added a dental suite. An STD clinic is conducted three days a week. In addition, immunizations and related health care are provided to the Corrections and Enforcement Divisions.
Nurses are available to provide medical services for inmates or to new arrestees who may either have an existing medical condition or a new injury.
Inmates who have conditions requiring twenty-four hour nursing care or for special observation, such as self-destructive behavior, may be housed in the medical unit.
