Clinician-Driven Correctional Healthcare

SymboCor is a correctional healthcare company founded and led by a clinician with over 40 years of experience. Unlike many in the industry, SymboCor is managed by healthcare professionals rather than investors, ensuring that our decisions prioritize the well-being of inmates, the needs of sheriffs, and the interests of city and county taxpayers.

Chief Medical Officer

The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) at SymboCor plays a pivotal role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered healthcare within the correctional system.
As a clinical leader and strategic advisor, the CMO oversees all medical services, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations and implementing evidence-based practices to improve patient outcomes. This role involves supervising and mentoring the medical team to maintain consistency and excellence in care delivery while collaborating with executive leadership to align medical services with the organization’s goals and objectives. The CMO is also responsible for establishing protocols, monitoring care standards, and driving continuous quality improvement initiatives to ensure the highest level of care. They play a critical role in ensuring all medical practices meet state, federal, and correctional healthcare standards. Additionally, the CMO leads the adoption of new technologies, treatments, and approaches to enhance healthcare delivery in correctional facilities. Acting as a liaison between the medical team, patients, and correctional staff, the CMO fosters a culture of respect, education, and collaboration. Through their leadership, the CMO supports SymboCor’s mission of providing exceptional healthcare in a challenging environment while promoting operational excellence and patient well-being.

comprehensive, multidisciplinary care within the correctional system.Psychiatrists address the mental health needs of patients, offering diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management for a range of psychiatric conditions, ensuring that individuals receive the psychological support necessary to thrive in a challenging environment. Dentists provide essential oral healthcare, managing both routine and emergency dental needs to promote overall health and well-being. Health Services Administrators oversee the operational aspects of healthcare delivery, ensuring that clinical teams are supported, compliance standards are met, and resources are efficiently utilized to maintain high-quality care.

Advanced Practice Providers, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants, extend the reach of the medical team by providing direct patient care, diagnosing and managing conditions, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure timely and effective treatment.

They serve as primary points of contact for patients, fostering trust and ensuring that health concerns are addressed promptly and effectively. In addition to direct patient care, SymboCor’s nursing team supports the implementation of treatment plans, collaborates closely with physicians and advanced practice providers, and upholds rigorous standards of clinical excellence and compliance.

Testimonials

“Being in jail is stressful; I have enough to worry about. I like being able to receive
dialysis in a quiet, relaxing environment. I don’t have to worry about being seen in the
community wearing these strips like I used to when they would have to take me offsite.”
