OPP’s Medical Department Achieves Accreditation
Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin N. Gusman today announced that Orleans Parish Prison's Medical Department has been awarded full accreditation by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. The award is good through 2016.
The NCCHC said it renewed the accreditation of OPP's Medical Department for its "100% compliance" with standards for medical and mental health services in jails. These standards are designed to help correctional facilities improve the health of inmates and the communities to which they return.
"Achieving an award like this requires teamwork," Sheriff Gusman said. "We have a great team headed by Dr. Samuel Gore and we're proud of the contributions from our clinical and administrative staff."
Orleans Parish Prison is one of only three jails in Louisiana that has received NCCHC accreditation.
