The total value of the contract, with a three-year initial contract period and two additional one-year renewal options, is approximately $2 million over the life of the contract. Dr. Richard W. Turner, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Conmed, said, "We continue to expand our presence in the Pacific Northwest, which enhances our ability to provide cost effective medical services to this region. These counties recognize that we can provide healthcare services to them efficiently and cost effectively and we strive to continually enhance the quality of the services we provide. More and more, we are being recognized as the provider of choice for quality, fully-compliant healthcare services in the county corrections market, as this contract demonstrates." The new Coos County contract brings to nine the number of Oregon counties which Conmed provides correctional healthcare services and it is the first time Coos County is outsourcing its inmate healthcare services. Conmed was awarded the contract in a process of competitive proposal evaluation. Under terms of the agreement, Conmed will provide a complete suite of medical services that include staffing of physicians and nurses, dental services, mental and behavioral health services, ancillary services such as laboratory and diagnostic imaging, as well as pharmacy services to approximately 100 inmates. In addition, Conmed will also provide offsite specialist and hospital services, subject to contractual limits and contingencies as defined by the contract, the company noted in a release.
