Health Services Unit (Connecticut DOC)

The Connecticut Department of Correction Health Services page sets out the agency's commitment to comprehensive care meeting a community standard, covering medical, mental health, dental, addiction and ancillary services in compliance with state and federal law and consent decrees. It names the Health Services director and gives the unit's Wethersfield address, phone and fax for inquiries. Garner Correctional Institution in Newtown is designated as the department's dedicated mental health facility for adult men needing significant treatment, taking both accused and sentenced people, with individualized treatment plans based on level of functionality and an integrated custody and clinical team. The page also links the department's Hospice and Palliative Care Program and publishes two documents: a 2024 overview of mental health services and programs for the incarcerated population, and a consultant's assessment report on DOC inmate medical services.
