Prison Health Services

Sick prisoners look for Corizon on their horizon. The company formed in 2011 through the $250 million merger of the publicly traded  America Service Group, the parent of PHS Correctional Healthcare (PHS), and Valitás Health Services, the parent of Correctional Medical Services (CMS). Now the country's top prison health care contractor, Corizon, through PHS and CMS, provides medical care and pharmacy services to more than 400 state prisons, municipal jails, and other correctional facilities in 31 states. The combination leverages PHS's contracts with almost 60 prisons and jails with CMS's history offering dental, mental health, and optometry services, as well as substance abuse treatment through Genesis Behavioral Services.
