Bridging Gaps: Roadrunner Health Services Strengthens Community Health Through Correctional Care

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - May 5, 2025 - PRLog -- Roadrunner Health Services (RHS), a leading correctional healthcare provider in the Southwest, is proud to spotlight the growing connection between quality healthcare inside correctional facilities and overall community well-being.

Correctional healthcare is more than a service—it's a critical link between incarceration and successful reintegration. RHS provides high-quality, compassionate care that extends beyond prison walls, helping build healthier, safer communities across New Mexico and the broader Southwest.

"When individuals leave correctional facilities healthier—physically and mentally—they reenter society with the tools they need to thrive," says David Montoya, CEO of Roadrunner Health Services. "That's how we reduce public health burdens and make real change."

Improving Health Outcomes Through Continuity of Care

Continuity of care is the backbone of RHS's approach. Whether managing chronic conditions like diabetes or ensuring mental health treatments continue after release, RHS builds systems that prevent individuals from falling through the cracks. Discharge planning and partnerships with local clinics ensure that care doesn't stop when incarceration ends.

"Without a solid care transition, individuals are more likely to relapse, suffer untreated conditions, or return to jail," Montoya adds. "We're bridging that gap."

Breaking the Cycle of Recidivism

RHS focuses on breaking the cycle of recidivism by addressing its root causes—untreated medical needs, unmanaged mental illness, and lack of support post-release. By stabilizing these areas during incarceration, RHS gives individuals a better shot at rebuilding their lives, which in turn stabilizes families and neighborhoods.

Local Staff, Community-Focused Care

RHS also prioritizes hiring local healthcare professionals who understand the unique needs of their communities. This not only brings economic benefits to the region, but also builds trust between patients and providers—essential in environments where skepticism about medical care is high.

"Trust leads to better outcomes," Montoya notes. "When patients believe in their providers, they're more likely to seek care and follow through with treatments."

A Partner in Public Health

At its core, Roadrunner Health Services is committed to being more than a healthcare provider—it's a partner in community health. Through strategic partnerships, dedicated staff, and a deep understanding of what it takes to support successful reintegration, RHS is changing the narrative of correctional healthcare.

"Everyone deserves quality, compassionate care—regardless of where they are," says the spokesperson. "At RHS, we're proud to deliver that care while helping our communities grow stronger."
