Armor Health's Data Driven Approach to Patient Care Helps Secure another Agreement in Pennsylvania to provide Inmate Healthcare Services for Patients in Lackawanna County
SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Armor Health (ArmorHealthcare.com), a leading national provider of integrated correctional healthcare, was awarded a new contract to deliver its quality Integrated Medical, Mental Health Services and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program to the Lackawanna County Prison. The company was awarded the new contract after a competitive RFP process. Armor began its service in January, 2025.
Armor's MAT program utilizes a holistic, medically supported recovery model that combines FDA-approved medications for Opiod Use Disorder (OUD) with behavioral therapy and individualized counseling. The program supports successful reentry and reduces recidivism by coordinating warm handoffs back to community care teams at the time of release, addressing both the clinical and social factors that contribute to relapse and reoffending.
"This exciting opportunity to partner with Lackawanna County Commissioners and the Prison leadership continues Armor's expansion in Pennsylvania," says Otto Campo, CEO of Armor Health. "Serving the Lackawanna Prison's patients and the surrounding community provides our company with another Pennsylvania partner to deliver quality care and improved patient outcomes."
Campo adds, "We commend Lackawanna County leadership's forward-thinking approach which parallels Armor's focus on utilizing data combined with top-tier clinical service to deliver best patient outcomes." Armor employs its proprietary technology Insights Analytics to deliver on its mission to provide the type of patient care expected outside the walls of a correctional facility to the underserved in jails and prisons.
"Armor's programs focus on each patient we care for highlighting Warden Betti and his team's commitment to caring for the patient's physical and mental well-being. We are committed to providing Armor's highly-skilled, passionate, and laser-focused behavioral health professionals in Lackawanna County to further enhance the results that we know make an important difference in the lives of our patients," says Campo.
