SANTA FE, N.M. - PennZone -- New Mexico correctional facilities are witnessing the growing divide between local healthcare providers and large out-of-state corporate entities, with local provider Roadrunner Health Services leading the charge in delivering high-quality, community-oriented healthcare.

Roadrunner Health Services, a New Mexico-based provider, offers a stark contrast to the performance of larger, out-of-state providers. With over 160 employees caring for approximately 1,450 inmates daily with a 14 million dollar yearly budget, Roadrunner boasts a 100% employment rate and zero vacancies, continuing to not use any agency staff in 26 years of business - meaning inmates receive timely and attentive care by dedicated and committed employees . Additionally, the company has a strong payroll of approximately $450,000 bi-monthly, keeping money circulating within the state. Most importantly, Roadrunner has had no lawsuits in over 2 ½ years, reflecting its commitment to providing consistent, quality healthcare.

By comparison, out-of-state (Arizona) based competitors, with gross incomes of $60+ million several years ago and a staff vacancy rate in the hundreds, have faced multiple lawsuits in 2023 alone. Despite caring for a larger inmate population, their care delivery is often delayed due to staffing shortages and over-reliance on external agencies. New Mexico's current state prison  corporate provider, responsible for approximately 6,800 inmates daily and earning over $63 million in 2023, faces similar challenges, including a staggering most recent audit of a 51% staff vacancy rate and numerous lawsuits in recent years.

"Roadrunner Health Services stands out not just for its local roots, but for its ability to maintain full staffing, provide timely, quality healthcare, and avoid the legal troubles that plague larger corporations," said David Montoya, CEO at Roadrunner Health Services. "Our commitment to the people of New Mexico drives our operations, and we believe healthcare in correctional facilities should be driven by quality, not corporate profits."

As New Mexico's correctional system moves forward, partnering with local providers like Roadrunner Health Services offers a clear path to improving healthcare, ensuring transparency, and investing in the state's economy.
