Correctional healthcare for the Ware County Jail, in the same city GENESYS calls home.
The Ware County Jail on Harris Road has a PREA facility audit scheduled for December 2025, and the county's own Detention Officer job posting currently lists dispensing medication among that role's duties. GENESYS would bring a dedicated, physician-led clinical team to intake screening, sick call, medication management and mental health access, standardized well ahead of any audit and separate from custody staff's own responsibilities.
GENESYS is physician-owned and headquartered right here in Waycross, 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. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through what a dedicated clinical team would look like for the Ware County Jail.
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.

The Ware County Sheriff's Office operates the Ware County Jail at 3487 Harris Road in Waycross, the county seat of a county with a 2020 Census population of 36,251. Vera Institute data puts the jail's average daily population at about 400.
Contracting out healthcare for a jail this size still means covering the same ground as a larger county: intake screening, sick call, chronic care, medication management and mental health access, sized to a smaller daily population but held to the same standard of care, while the Sheriff's Office keeps custody and security.
The Ware County Jail has a PREA facility audit scheduled with onsite dates of December 11 and 12, 2025. A scheduled federal audit is a good reason to have clinical intake screening, documentation and protocols already standardized well before auditors arrive, rather than assembling records under time pressure.
Ware County's own posting for the Detention Officer role lists dispensing medication and providing inmate access to health care services among the job's duties, alongside issuing meals and running recreational and legal programs. At a jail this size, that often means custody staff carry medication administration themselves rather than handing it to a dedicated clinical team working under physician protocols.
