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.”

NaphCare currently partners with 170 local, state and federal facilities across 34 states to provide proactive, preventative healthcare services, technology solutions, and administrative services.
