TK Health is now the medical services provider for 27 jails in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.
The expansion is part of a contract assignment agreement between TK Health and Fast Access Correctional Healthcare, which previously provided medical services at the jails.
CEO Flint Junod said TK Health officials are excited by the expansion of services into the Tri-State area.
“This is a big move for us, expanding beyond our existing operational territory and further into the midwest. We’re ready to serve our new correctional partners with quality healthcare services.”
The new correctional facilities served are in the following counties:
- Benton, Tennessee
- Bradley, Tennessee
- Campbell, Tennessee
- Cannon, Tennessee
- Carter, Tennessee
- Carter, Kentucky
- Cumberland, Tennessee
- Decatur, Tennessee
- Dekalb, Tennessee
- Fentress, Tennessee
- Floyd, Indiana
- Giles, Tennessee
- Jackson, Tennessee
- Johnson, Tennessee
- Loudon, Tennessee
- Monroe, Tennessee

- Obion, Tennessee
- Perry, Tennessee
- Polk, Tennessee
- Scott, Indiana

- Sequatchie, Tennessee
- Sumner, Tennessee

TK Health assumed services in these counties in August and September. Services provided depend on the specific contracts, but may include healthcare, mental health care, dentistry, and pharmaceutical management.
“TK Health is equipped to provide comprehensive medical care for mind and body,” Junod said. “The services we provide at each location depend on the county officials’ assessment of their needs and consideration of our recommendations.”
