The industry’s leading tech-enabled health equity solution,
OnMed today announced continued expansion as it begins supporting
the country’s underserved and- over-burdened prison system.
Effective immediately, Milam County, Texas will be the first county
in the state to serve prison inmates through its OnMed CareStation,
at no cost to taxpayers.
Building on the relationship with Milam County, the County
Sheriff’s Department will leverage the OnMed CareStation to serve
the preventative and ongoing needs of the county’s prison inmates
as well as the broader community.
Mike Clore, Milam County Sheriff said “It’s been clear for
decades that there is a lack of adequate, ongoing healthcare
offered to our country’s incarcerated population. The OnMed
CareStation will help our county provide the quality resources we
all deserve.”
“This partnership is a clear example of how improving health
equity in the most needed corners of America is crucial and
possible,” said OnMed CEO, Karthik Ganesh. “We commend Milam
County’s foresight in finding innovative ways to address healthcare
disparities in its community and are proud to support them.”
