Armor Health Expands Services in Pennsylvania
Armor Health, a prominent provider of integrated correctional healthcare, is thrilled to announce its latest contract awarded to serve the Lackawanna County Prison. This latest agreement signifies Armor's commitment to enhancing patient care in correctional facilities and comes after a rigorous Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Services commenced in early January.
Innovative Patient-Centered Programs
Central to Armor's approach is its Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program, which merges medical and therapeutic interventions for those grappling with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This program reflects a holistic viewpoint that integrates FDA-approved medications alongside behavioral therapy.
