Phone Line
There is now a dedicated telephone line 772-672-8582 for inmate family members to call our Medical Unit.
The telephone line was installed for outside individuals to share any medical information or concerns they have regarding an inmate.
Medical Personnel
Medical personnel will check the answering machine daily and respond back to the caller.
Medical personnel can no longer answer calls made to other telephone lines in medical.
Health Care Services
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which is the national patient privacy act, prevents medical personnel from providing medical information to anyone without the written consent of the inmate.
Health care services are provided through a contracted health care group. While incarcerated in the St. Lucie County Jail all inmates have the right to medical care and will not be refused because of insufficient funds.
These services are provided free of charge:
- Chronic illnesses
- Follow-up care
- Intake screenings
- Medical emergencies
- Medical histories/physicals
- Mental health services
- Referred illnesses
