Armor Health Partners with Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio
In a significant development, Armor Health has taken over the healthcare services at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio (CCNO). This transition happened on January 15, 2026, amidst a severe winter storm, marking a new chapter in correctional healthcare for the facility.
Dennis Sullivan, the Executive Director of CCNO, expressed satisfaction with the change. He noted that such transitions can be tricky, and the weather added an extra layer of difficulty. However, Armor Health was well-prepared. They quickly deployed additional nurses to ensure uninterrupted medical services, maintaining both medical and mental health care for inmates.
Sullivan mentioned the optimism surrounding this partnership. “Armor has worked hard to make this transition as smooth as possible, which shows their commitment to correctional healthcare,” he said.
Armor Health’s approach focuses heavily on patient care, emphasizing the mental and physical well-being of incarcerated individuals. CEO Otto Campo highlighted the company’s dedication to delivering quality healthcare tailored to each patient. The team includes skilled medical and behavioral health professionals committed to making a real difference.
This partnership aims to enhance healthcare services while balancing safety and cost-effectiveness for the communities served, including Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, and Williams Counties.
