Haysi and Abingdon Staffing Addendum.pdf

This is a staffing change addendum letter dated October 17, 2022, from Wexford Health Sources to the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority (SWVRJA) regarding medical staffing modifications at Abingdon Regional Jail and Haysi Regional Jail. The letter outlines operational changes where the Medical Director position at Haysi will be reduced while the PA/NP position at Abingdon will be increased from 30 to 38 hours per week, with the PA/NP providing services at both facilities. The changes include adjusting physician hours at the Haysi facility from 8 physician hours bi-weekly to 8 NP/PA hours weekly.

The staffing modifications are described as cost neutral to SWVRJA and are designed to aid in recruitment and retention by making the PA/NP position full-time with benefits. The letter notes this may be a temporary arrangement if facility needs indicate a medical director is needed rather than an advance practice clinician. The document is signed by John Froehlich, Sr VP Finance & CFO of Wexford Health Sources, and countersigned by Superintendent Stephen Clear of SWVRJA.
