Roadrunner Health Services Sets the Standard for local Compassionate Correctional Healthcare nationwide

SANTA FE, N.M. - illiNews -- In an era where correctional facilities often rely on large, multi-state corporations for healthcare services, Roadrunner Health Services (RHS) stands apart. With over 25 years of experience delivering high-quality medical and mental health care to correctional institutions across the Southwest, RHS is proud to remain one of the region's few locally owned providers. It is now expanding its hands-on approach to healthcare nationwide.

As RHS continues to grow, leadership is actively partnering with facilities across the country to bring its proven, patient-first model to new regions. Central to this expansion is the integration of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), an evidence-based, compassionate approach to treating substance use disorders that supports long-term recovery and reduces recidivism. RHS is committed to helping correctional institutions implement MAT effectively and responsibly, with the clinical and operational support they need to succeed.

While national headlines increasingly spotlight challenges faced by larger providers — from high vacancy rates to inconsistent care — RHS has remained focused on quality, accountability, and outcomes. Through programs like the Hawkeye Audit Program, RHS continuously evaluates performance and ensures transparency at every level. The result: in over three years, RHS has maintained a record without a single lawsuit, underscoring its commitment to ethical care and operational excellence.

"Our team leads with compassion," said [Spokesperson Name, Title]. "We don't believe in top-down decision-making from a distance. Our executives are on the ground — present in facilities, building relationships, and solving challenges alongside our partners."

A Commitment to Community and Quality

Founded in 1998, RHS has consistently prioritized the well-being of patients and the communities it serves. With over 170 employees and a $15.5 million annual budget, RHS provides care to approximately 1,450 patients daily. The organization maintains a 100% staffing rate across ten county contracts, without reliance on agency nursing staff — a rare feat in the correctional healthcare industry.
