Correctional Health Services (CHS) administers all legally mandated health services provided to adult inmates held within the County jail system. These services include medical, dental, and ancillary services. Health care is both preventive and therapeutic, and designed to provide for the physical well being of the inmate population.

In order to provide the best physical and mental health services to our inmates, we have established an email address specifically for the purpose of addressing questions or concerns about those incarcerated in our facilities. We also have a central phone contact for our main office at Correctional Health Services.

This email is set up for all of our customers, i.e. family members, attorneys, other correctional agencies, and other concerned parties.

How to contact CHS:

• Email: inmatepatientcare@saccounty.net
• Telephone: (916) 875-9782, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
