Section 153A-225(a) of the NC General Statutes requires all local government units that operate a jail to have a jail medical plan that meets specified criteria. The vendor for Mecklenburg County jail health services recently changed from WellPath to Vital Core, requiring the review of the jail health plan for the new vendor. MCPH staff have reviewed the plan and worked with Vital Core to assure all required elements are included. The plan has been approved by the health director.
