PEORIA COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER REACCREDITED
Peoria – In October 2023, the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center in Illinois was re-accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care for demonstrating compliance with NCCHC’s nationally recognized guidelines of care for correctional health services in jails.
Reaccreditation recognizes the facility’s ongoing commitment to providing quality health services to the incarcerated population. To maintain NCCHC accreditation, Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center underwent a rigorous professional assessment. During the assessment, a team of experienced physicians and experts in correctional health care surveyed the facility for compliance with jail-specific guidelines in several areas such as patient care and treatment, health promotion, safety and disease prevention, governance and administration, personnel and training, special needs and services, and medical-legal issues.
The facility partners with Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. to manage health care contracts. Mental health care is being provided through Freedom Behavioral Health, Inc.
