Who provides medical treatment to detainees in SPC facilities?

The ICE Health Services Corp. (IHSC) is specifically established to deliver medical care to detainees in Service Processing Centers (SPC) and is responsible for overseeing the health care provided in these facilities. IHSC implements medical policies, ensures compliance with healthcare standards, and manages the provision of medical services to maintain the health and well-being of detainees.

This centralized approach allows IHSC to maintain a consistent standard of care across different facilities. It also facilitates the integration of specialized services and management of healthcare resources, which ensures that detainees receive comprehensive medical treatment in accordance with established guidelines.

Local medical staff and private medical contractors could be involved in providing care, but their activities are typically coordinated under the guidelines of the IHSC, which is responsible for the overall medical treatment framework for detainees. Nonprofit organizations may contribute to health services, but they do not have the primary role in providing medical treatment within SPC facilities as dictated by the policies set forth by ICE.
