Summary

Office of Correctional Health Act of 2003 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to establish within the Office of Public Health and Science of the Public Health Service the Office of Correctional Health. Requires the Office to carry out public health activities for employees in Federal, State, or local penal or correctional institutions or for persons incarcerated in such institutions (collectively referred to as correctional populations). Includes among such activities disease prevention, health promotion, service delivery, research, and health professions education activities.

Authorizes the Secretary to make grants to States to provide for correctional populations screenings, immunizations, and treatment for hepatitis A, B, and C. Sets forth a matching requirement for such grants. Requires a portion of each grant to be expended to carry out such activities at penal or correctional facilities that are not facilities in which individuals serve terms of imprisonment, including remand facilities.
