Health care doesn’t stop at the jail doors.
The Newport News Sheriff’s Office is responsible for meeting the medical, mental health, and dental needs of individuals housed in the City Jail and Jail Annex. By running our own in-house medical team, we’re able to deliver care that’s timely, consistent, and responsive — not delayed by outside systems.
Our medical team includes Registered and Licensed Practical Nurses, Medication Technicians, Licensed Mental Health Professionals, a Nurse Practitioner, a Health Services Administrator, a Medical Doctor, and a Dentist. Together, they provide comprehensive care focused on health, safety, and stability.
