California Medical Facility - Mission Statement
The
California Medical Facility (CMF) was established in 1955 by the
Legislature to provide a centrally located medical psychiatric
institution for the health care needs of the male felon population in
California’s prisons. Currently, CMF operates with a 171 million dollar
budget and approximately 1853 employees.
CMF houses a general acute care hospital, correctional treatment center
(CTC), licensed elderly care unit, in-patient and out-patient
psychiatric facilities, a hospice unit for terminally ill inmates,
housing and treatment for inmates identified with AIDS/HIV, general
population, and other special inmate housing. Additionally, the
Department of Mental Health operates a licensed, acute care psychiatric
hospital within CMF.
