MEnD Correctional Care contracts with dozens of counties in Minnesota and other Midwestern states
| More Minnesota jails weigh dropping controversial medical provider |
Five months after a state board suspended the license of a doctor whose company has been under scrutiny for its role in the deaths of people held in jail, several Minnesota counties have taken steps to find a new jail medical provider.
MEnD Correctional Care contracts with dozens of counties in Minnesota and other Midwestern states to provide health care for people incarcerated in jails.
The Sartell, Minn. based company, however, has faced allegations of failing to provide adequate care to inmates, including 27-year-old Hardel Sherrell, who died in 2018 in the Beltrami County jail after his pleas for help were ignored by jail and medical staff.
