Is there medical personnel on staff at the Workhouse?
Yes. There is a nurse on staff at the Workhouse and a physician at the Anoka County Jail for more serious issues. In order to see the nurse, you must fill out a medical kite and you will be placed on sick call. The nurse will assess all serious medical/dental needs and refer them to the physician when medically necessary. We may defer some medical/dental needs until you are released or transferred to another facility. If you are here for more than 14 days, you must have a Tuberculosis skin test (TST) done.
