About Correctional Healthcare Partners

Correctional Healthcare Partners (CHP Health) is a company dedicated to providing healthcare services to the incarcerated, and we're growing. We exist because the people inside county jails still deserve real healthcare — and the counties that serve them deserve a partner who shows up, owns the outcome, and gets the work right. We deliver medical, mental health, and dental care across jails and detention facilities in California and Washington, and we do it with clinicians who chose this setting and a leadership team that supports the mission.
