Episode Details

While both parties call it a mutual decision, the move follows years of federal scrutiny and rising costs tied to travel nurses. The county plans to use the final year to transition smoothly, bring in experts, and build a sustainable, high-quality healthcare model for the jail — all while honoring the legacy of failures and striving for real, lasting reform.
