Telehealth Isn’t a Compromise. For Small Jails, It’s an Upgrade.
On-site models are fragile, expensive, and designed for facilities nothing like yours. Aspen’s telehealth approach delivers higher-quality care, more reliability, and better results — all without leaving the jail.
The In-Person Model Breaks Down in Small Jails
Single Point of Failure
When one nurse quits, your jail is exposed. Telehealth gives you a full team — no missed shifts, no coverage gaps.
24/7 Call Burnout
A lone nurse on 24/7 call can’t sustain it. Aspen’s team rotates call to ensure fast, reliable response day or night.
Shallow Hiring Pool
In-person providers can only hire locally. Aspen recruits from a nationwide talent pool — and we’re pickier because of it.
Inexperience in Corrections
Community providers often lack correctional experience. Aspen only hires clinicians who trained in jails.
Cost without Coverage
You’re paying for hours you don’t need — and still left uncovered when something goes wrong.
Why Aspen’s Telehealth Model Works Better
Redundancy Built In
Coverage doesn’t hinge on one person. Aspen brings a full team — always ready, always responsive.
24/7 Availability, Without Burnout
With a rotating staff, our team stays sharp and responsive — around the clock.
Corrections-Specialized Expertise
Our team knows what works (and what doesn’t) in a jail setting. That’s not something you can teach quickly.
More Security, Less Supervision
No equipment to protect. Deputies can step away if needed — improving safety and efficiency.
Consistency You Can Count On
Aspen doesn’t get sick, take vacation, or disappear. We’re always there, without gaps.
Every System, Every Workflow, Every Policy: Designed for Jails Under 100 Beds
Most vendors treat small jails as "lite" versions of large ones. Aspen is different. This isn’t a scaled-down product — it’s a purpose-built model. We don’t juggle between massive state contracts and small counties. You’re not second fiddle — you’re the only instrument we play.
"Our previous provider would miss shifts or go dark for hours. Aspen has never missed a beat."
– Sheriff / Jail Admin
"Telehealth sounded risky at first. Now we’d never go back to in-person. We actually get better care."
– County Commissioner or Jail Captain

We’ve worked with dozens of counties who thought the same thing — until they saw how well Aspen’s telehealth model actually works.
