About

Comprehensive Health Services, Inc. (CSHi) 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, CSHi expanded its services in Cape Canaveral.[3]

CSHi 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 CSHi to provide medical exam services.[4]

CSHi also runs a temporary shelter center in Homestead, Florida, called the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children, which houses and provides medical care to unaccompanied minor immigrants and children who have been separated from their families.[5] The Department of Health and Human Services contracted CSHi to re-open this shelter in February of 2018.[6] In the wake of CSHi running shelters for migrant children, Commissioner Ricky Arriola called for banning CSHi from doing business in Miami Beach.[7]
