About

[edit | edit source]

Comprehensive Health Services is located in Cape Canaveral, Florida and provides health and medical services to government agencies and commercial entities.[1] It was founded in 1975 and is a for-profit company.[1][2] In 2016, CHS expanded its services in Cape Canaveral.[3]

CHS was awarded a government contract with the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency in 2014.[4] The contract was worth $97 million and was for CHS to provide medical exam services.[4] President Trump appointed John Kelly to DHS and he subsequently initiated child separation policy. Kelly is now on the board of directors that operates the Homeland Detention Center.[5]

In 2017, CHS paid the federal government a settlement of $3.818 million in a whistleblower lawsuit for knowingly double charging and mischarging the government for medical services.[6]
