Leading Healthcare Group Forms YesCare, Debuting New Vision and Leadership

Led by CEO Sara Tirschwell and new C-suite leadership, YesCare will advance an innovative and more compassionate model of care for correctional patients

Key priority areas include women’s health and behavioral health services including therapies for addressing suicide and addiction across its facilities nationwide

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, the dedicated employees of Corizon Health are now YesCare, launching a powerful vision for correctional healthcare nationwide and announcing corporate leadership to drive the company’s next chapter. Under CEO Sara Tirschwell’s stewardship, YesCare will partner with state and local government clients to set and deliver on higher standards for care in corrections.

“YesCare is committed to outcome-driven solutions for the patients and communities we serve. We will lead the industry toward the earlier and more concentrated deployment of resources because reentry preparation should start the moment an individual enters our care,” Ms. Tirschwell said. “To accomplish this, we are proud to have the most diverse executive leadership in the industry, a reflection of our diverse and talented workforce. Together, our mission is to turn the goals of recovery and rehabilitation into a reality.”

Understanding that 95% of incarcerated individuals return to society, the company is investing in an expanded roster of programming, from expanded wellness to behavioral health, addiction treatment, suicide prevention, care for the aging and women’s health education.

Central to this focus will be a nationwide expansion of YesCare’s recently piloted suicide prevention program and YesCare’s Women’s Health Education, which debuted at the state of Maryland’s Correctional Institution for Women in 2020. The landmark program educates women on their individual healthcare needs, empowering them with the skills for self-care and the tools to access external care.

Led by Ms. Tirschwell, YesCare’s experienced senior team has a thoughtfully constructed strategy to guide the company through a pivotal time. Staffing challenges, criminal justice reform, the aging of the prison population, rising substance use, suicides and mental health issues and a growing awareness of the importance of saving productive lives, collectively set the stage for change. YesCare is utilizing all of its corporate resources, and those of its related companies, to meet staffing needs and is prioritizing the perspectives of its clinical and operational experts in solving for better risk-adjusted patient and societal outcomes.

Tirschwell comes to YesCare after a successful thirty-year career in finance, where she distinguished herself as a forward-thinking, hands-on investor. She subsequently moved into executive leadership where she quickly established herself as a change agent. Tirschwell brings highly relevant experience to YesCare from behavioral health, government relations, and decades of investing in healthcare services.

A number of newly promoted staff will steer YesCare toward a more compassionate future in correctional care, including:

Utilizing state of the art technology, YesCare’s approach delivers curated, quality healthcare centered around giving individuals the tools to succeed in and out of the correctional space. Targeted specifically to support a disproportionately trauma-inflicted population, this vision will solidify YesCare’s standing as the most compassionate provider of correctional healthcare.

YesCare is part of a consortium of related entities that includes healthcare staffing companies with over 19,000 healthcare professionals, hundreds of skilled nursing homes and assisted living facilities, laboratories and pharmacies, addiction treatment companies (including MAT), among others.
