Comprehensive Health Services Wins Employee Exam Contract with Department of Homeland Security's Border and Transportation Security, Customs and Border Protection

VIENNA, VA. – Sept. 20, 2005 – Comprehensive Health Services (CHS), a nationwide occupational health and wellness services company, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by the Department of Homeland Security for Border and Transportation Security, Customs and Border Protection to conduct employee physical exams at its Grand Forks, North Dakota facility.

CHS will provide all personnel, materials, services and facilities to conduct the exams, with all employees having access to these exams within a 30-mile radius of Grand Forks. The program focuses on employees over the age of 40.

“Our extensive network of CHS-credentialed physicians allows us to meet the specifications of government contracts such as these, where employees are dispersed across the country, and must receive service within a reasonable distance to a certain location,” noted Gary Palmer, CHS vice president. “Also, CHS’ physician credentialing process ensures that exams are performed consistently, particularly when addressing a specified population – in this case, employees over the age of forty.”

CHS has also provided employee exams for the Transportation Security Administration and the Kennedy Space Center. The Company’s proven best practices have allowed it to build exam programs that are convenient, consistent and ensure customers meet all regulatory compliance requirements, including OSHA and ADA.
