Item 8.01.Other Events.

On July 14, 2008, Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. (“Conmed”) announced that it has signed an initial contract with Pima County, Arizona, to immediately establish and implement, in coordination with the County and its existing vendor, a transition plan designed to effectuate a seamless transition of medical, dental and behavioral health services at the Pima County Adult Detention Center (PCADC) from the existing vendor to Conmed by August 1, 2008. The transitional contract is valued at approximately $220,000.

During this transitional period, Conmed and Pima County will seek to formalize and finalize their agreement in principle to enter into a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract to cover the full suite of Conmed's healthcare services for PCADC. Under terms of the anticipated contract, Conmed would provide a turn-key inmate medical services platform that includes staffing of physicians, nurses, and administrative personnel, dental services, mental and behavioral health screening services, ancillary services such as laboratory and diagnostic x-ray, as well as pharmacy services. In addition, Conmed would also provide offsite specialist and hospital services, as well as support services. Final contractual terms are currently being negotiated.
