Correctional healthcare for a Gwinnett County jail whose medical services already carry a 100 percent NCCHC accreditation score.
Gwinnett County's inmate medical services already earned a 100 percent accreditation score from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, and the county also runs Gwinnett County Correctional Institution, where state and county sentenced offenders share eight dormitories. GENESYS would take on protecting that standard rather than rebuilding it, with physician oversight sized to a jail holding 2,000 to 2,600 inmates and the correctional institution's longer stay population.
GENESYS is physician-owned: Chief Medical Officer Dr. Peter Wrobel is a Certified Correctional Health Professional and an NCCHC accreditation surveyor, and each program has a named medical director accountable for clinical policy and NCCHC-aligned standards of care. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through how GENESYS would hold Gwinnett's existing standard in place.
Every GENESYS contract is built from the same nine services, sized to the facility's population and staffing model. Each one has its own page with the detail.
We will walk through a staffing plan, coverage hours and how the transition would work for your population.
The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office operates the Gwinnett County Jail at 2900 University Parkway in Lawrenceville, comprising the Wimberly Tower and the Plunkett Building, with a stated capacity to house 2,000 to 2,600 inmates.
In a March 2024 report, the Sheriff's Office said its inmate medical services received a 100 percent accreditation score from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. Any provider taking on a contract here has to protect a standard that has already been reached, not treat accreditation as a future goal.
Beyond the pretrial county jail, Gwinnett also operates Gwinnett County Correctional Institution at 750 High Hope Road in Lawrenceville, where eight dormitories house a mix of 128 state sentenced and 384 county sentenced offenders. A facility holding state and county sentenced people side by side means longer average stays than a pure pretrial jail, more chronic disease management, and medication regimens that have to carry through from intake across a sentence rather than a few days.
The Sheriff's Office runs a Mental Health Task Force that partners with Positive Impact Health Centers to address mental health crises among people in custody. A partnership like that works only when the jail's own clinical team can coordinate medication, records and follow up with an outside provider, which is what a correctional healthcare contract's mental health and medical records functions are built to do.
The accreditation score is reported by a local news outlet, not a Sheriff's Office or NCCHC publication.
Yes. In a March 2024 report, the Sheriff's Office said its inmate medical services received a 100 percent accreditation score from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. Any provider taking on this contract has to protect that standard, not just meet a baseline.
Yes. Beyond the county jail on University Parkway, Gwinnett also operates Gwinnett County Correctional Institution on High Hope Road, a state facility with eight dormitories housing a mix of state and county sentenced offenders. That population has longer average stays than pretrial detention, which changes the chronic care workload.
The Sheriff's Office runs a Mental Health Task Force that partners with Positive Impact Health Centers on mental health crises in custody. Making a partnership like that work day to day depends on the jail's own mental health and medical records functions handling the handoff.
About 1,710 over recent years per Vera Institute data, inside a jail with a stated capacity of 2,000 to 2,600 across the Wimberly Tower and Plunkett Building.
