Syra Health Corp. announced it has been awarded a contract with the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to provide statewide nursing services. The contract is effective for one year, with two additional one-year renewal options.

Under the contract, Syra Health will supply temporary nursing staff to Youth Development Centers and Juvenile Detention Centers across North Carolina. The roles include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, medical technicians, and certified nursing assistants to provide for the medical needs of youth in the custody of the Department of Public Safety.

The Syra Health-provided clinical healthcare staff will be responsible for screening and evaluating youth upon admission, developing healthcare plans, and providing appropriate interventions.
