The IMS Difference

Founded by Dr. Jay Piland, IMS Correctional Healthcare has become North Carolina’s most trusted provider of correctional healthcare services. In 1994, Dr. Piland began to observe the need for a local physician presence and an emphasis on superior customer service to stand together at the core of the operating model for a correctional services provider to ensure consistency, fairness, and safety in day-to-day clinical decision making. Hence, the IMS Correctional Healthcare mission statement was formed: to provide the highest quality care to inmates housed within county correctional facilities in the state of North Carolina, at a fair and predictable price.

IMS has grown through the years, expanding across the state and adding new physicians, nurses, and support staff, however, our commitment to quality of care and local physician accessibility is unwavering. The depth of inmate medical services knowledge possessed by long tenured members of our team helps to ensure that new clinical care team members are appropriately trained and given the resources to succeed in our core correctional environments.
