University Correctional Health Care

Established in 2005 through inter-State agency agreements, University Correctional Health Care (UCHC) and its staff of mental health professionals provide mental health and sex offender specific treatment services to the inmates, residents and parolees under the supervision of the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) and the New Jersey State Parole Board (SPB).

In October 2008, UCHC was awarded a contract expanding the organization’s responsibilities by adding medical and dental health care services for the NJDOC inmate population. In January 2011, another contract expansion awarded responsibility for the provision of medical services for the JJC resident population.
