New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation Outposted Therapeutic Housing Units Program (OTxHU) Since 2016, Correctional Health Services (CHS) has been the direct provider of health care in the New York City jails. Deeply committed to human dignity and patient rights, CHS is part of the NYC Health + Hospitals system and is a key partner in the City’s efforts to reform the criminal-legal system.
