Correctional healthcare for the Henry County Jail and its Annex in McDonough.
The Henry County Jail has capacity for 900 detainees across the main facility and a separate Annex, with an average stay of 34 days based on the Sheriff's Office's 2021 bookings. GENESYS would run one clinical program across both buildings, with intake screening, chronic care and medication management built for a population that stays long enough to need ongoing treatment, not just a one-time checkup at booking.
GENESYS is physician-owned, with a named medical director accountable for clinical policy and NCCHC-aligned standards of care, and leadership reachable 24/7/365. Vacancies are covered through overtime, compliance pool nurses and contingency staffing so open shifts are filled at both the jail and the Annex.

The Henry County Sheriff's Office operates the Henry County Jail at 120 Henry Parkway in McDonough, with capacity for 900 detainees across the main jail and a separate Jail Annex. At capacity the jail delivers close to 2,700 meals a day.
Contracting out healthcare across a jail and its annex means one clinical program reaching both buildings on the same intake, sick call and medication protocols, with a medical record that follows a person if they move between the two, while the Sheriff's Office keeps custody and security.
With both the main jail and a separate Annex to staff, a clinical program has to run the same intake screening, sick call rounds and medication passes at two addresses rather than one, and the medical record has to travel with a person if they are moved between the two. At capacity the jail serves nearly 2,700 meals a day, a scale that gives a sense of how much daily clinical activity, medication passes, chronic care checks and sick call visits, has to be coordinated across both buildings.
With 6,107 bookings and an average of 34 days in custody in a recent year, stays are long enough that chronic conditions identified at intake need an ongoing management plan, not just acute care at booking.
The Vera Institute figure is a three year median.
Yes. The Henry County Jail at 120 Henry Parkway in McDonough and its separate Jail Annex have capacity for 900 detainees between them. A correctional healthcare contract has to staff intake, sick call and medication passes at both locations on the same protocols.
Per the Sheriff's Office, the jail provides medical, mental health and dental services, and at capacity it serves close to 2,700 meals a day. A contracted program builds on that with physician care, nursing, mental health and medication management on shared protocols across the main jail and the Annex.
In a recent annual report, the Sheriff's Office recorded 6,107 bookings, 5,880 releases, and an average of 34 days in custody. A stay that length means chronic conditions found at intake, like diabetes or hypertension, need an ongoing care plan rather than one-time treatment.
Vera Institute data puts average daily population at about 730, a three year median, against capacity for 900 detainees between the two facilities. A healthcare program has to be staffed for that full population, with intake, sick call and chronic care sized to the daily count.
