U of I to continue providing health care


Health care services for Winnebago County Jail inmates will cost more in 2011, but that’s to be expected.

County officials signed on again with the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford to provide medical services at the jail this year.

The county paid more for medical care 11 out of 12 months in 2010 because the average monthly population was greater than 775 inmates, reaching a high of 945 inmates in November.
