The mission of Health Services is to provide offenders with efficient and effective health services that encourage individual responsibility, promote healthy reintegration and contribute to safe communities.
Consistent with its transformation agenda, CSC recognizes that health outcomes are a shared responsibility between service providers and offenders. Offenders must be involved in taking responsibility and proactive measures to safeguard their health, which includes mental health.
In institutional settings, Health Services are provided in ambulatory Health Service Centres in institutions, regional hospitals and regional treatment / psychiatric centres. Incarcerated offenders may have to go to the community for emergency services, specialized health care services and for hospitalization that cannot be accommodated in CSC’s regional hospitals. In CSC, health care is provided by a wide range of regulated and non-regulated health professionals.
In broad terms health care means medical, dental, mental health care and public health services. During the period of incarceration, offenders are provided with a range of coordinated health services that are accessible, affordable, and appropriate to the correctional environment.
