The medical staff at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility (MCCF) and Montgomery County Detention Center (MCDC) provide medical care and services to all incarcerated inmates in compliance with recognized health care, legal, and correctional standards. The facilities are accredited by the Maryland Commission on Correctional Standards (MCCS), the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC), and the American Correctional Association (ACA).

Both facilities are staffed with nurses 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. Physicians and nurse practitioners provide on-site evaluation and treatment of acute and chronic medical conditions. Inmates receive a medical screening upon intake and are required to have a physical examination and Tuberculosis (Tb) test shortly after entering the facilities. The physical examination and Tb test are repeated annually. Tb testing is conducted by a Health and Human Services Tuberculosis Control Nurse. Health department physicians and nurses also assist in infectious disease identification, management, and treatment.

Services provided include, but are not limited to medication administration, sick call, intravenous therapy, dental care, physical therapy, optometry, laboratory, radiation (x-ray), specialized chronic care clinics and dialyses. All of these services, in addition to many others are done on-site within the walls of the facilities. Referrals to community specialists are afforded to those inmates whose healthcare needs exceed that which can be provided within the detention facilities.

The Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation was awarded
"2007 Facility of the Year" by National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
