EMERGENCY NOTICE - Statewide Health Care Services

Centurion of Illinois, LLC has been awarded an emergency contract by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) to provide comprehensive healthcare services across 28 correctional centers in Illinois. The contract, valued at $82 million, covers medical, dental, vision, audiology, pharmaceutical, and mental health services for incarcerated individuals. The services will be delivered both on-site at correctional facilities such as Stateville, Joliet, Menard, and Vienna, and off-site at local hospitals and outpatient facilities, under the direction of the IDOC Medical Director and Chief of Mental Health Services.

The emergency procurement, executed through the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, replaces Wexford Health Sources, Inc. as the healthcare services provider. The contract period spans from October 23, 2025, to January 20, 2026, with Centurion selected based on its proven track record of executing rapid transitions in large state correctional systems in Florida and Georgia. The State has established a 20% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation goal, with IDOC committed to working with Centurion to identify and include certified BEP vendors as operations stabilize.
