How Are We Different?

VitalCore Health Strategies (VCHS) has improved and advanced the field of correctional healthcare. We’re people who are fueled by passion, not by profit. At VCHS, we come to work ready to do whatever it takes to care for our patients and better serve our partners by doing the right thing the first time.

We’ve gathered the industry’s brightest leaders to help us redefine the way correctional healthcare is delivered. We hire experienced and committed health professionals, then use our knowledge and experience to educate our staff and focus on continuous learning. We care about our employees and one of the ways that is reflected is within our robust benefits package that exceeds industry standards. Our philosophy is to hire the best professionals in the field of correctional health, in addition to competent individuals who are committed to providing quality services; we train all employees to meet our standards of care, and we retain educated and experienced staff. VitalCore’s leadership and clinical teams understand the value of a well-run system. Our patient-first approach ensures safe, high-quality care aimed at optimizing outcomes and mitigating risk. We focus on preventive care, outcomes-based behavioral services, evidence-based practice, and medical care that treats the whole patient. We know that preventative medicine leads to healthier patients, fewer risks, and lower costs.

We put our expertise and energy where it matters most. We value smart cost management. Our years of boots-on-the-ground experience delivering quality healthcare services in correctional facilities, working with the security side of corrections, and sitting on oversight boards have taught us how to deliver quality healthcare services and manage a lean budget without sacrificing end patient care.

Our Experience Runs Deep

VitalCore Health Strategies was founded in January 2015 as Viola Riggin, LLC and quickly became a successful correctional healthcare consulting firm. In January 2018, Viola Riggin, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the leadership team expanded services and rebranded as VitalCore Health Strategies, LLC. In the beginning, VCHS partnered with companies in the Wichita, Kansas area to share personnel and business services, which allowed for better efficiency. However, VCHS has expanded and with rapid growth is independent providing all the personnel and business services within the Corporation.

VitalCore’s Central Corporate Office and Human Resources Department is in Topeka, Kansas with Regional offices, and contracts across the nation.

VitalCore is passionate about making a difference in peoples’ lives and assisting our clients in delivering quality health services. Our cost treatment models, sensible, realistic, and allow us to produce good patient outcomes at a fair cost.

VitalCore’s leadership and clinical teams are comprised of some of the most renowned professionals in various fields; their backgrounds and expertise have helped us achieve our mission to redefine correctional healthcare. Some of our accomplishments include:
