<br />Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office - Southern Health Partners (Request to add a
<br />Full-Time LPN Nurse)
<br />Sheriff Riley presented a request for an additional Licensed Practical
<br />Nurse position for the Cabarrus County jail. He reported this position is
<br />needed due to an increase in the daily inmate population and the practice of
<br />housing healthier inmates at other facilities.. He said there are more sick
<br />inmates in the jail who require healthcare before being transported to
<br />another location. As a result, he said there is a need for additional
<br />medical program support. Sheriff Riley referenced a letter from Jeff
<br />Reasons, President, Southern Health Partners proposing to add one full-time
<br />Licensed Practical Nurse to work the shifts most affected by the higher work
<br />volume which may include weekend shifts. He stated the cost for this
<br />position, including benefits, is $99,700.00 annually and that Southern Health
<br />Partners will increase its monthly bill by $3,725.00 once the position is
<br />filled.

<br />of practice, liability and funding issues.
