CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. & RESTON, Va.--()--Comprehensive Health Services, Incorporated (CHSi) announces the addition of two new executives to its senior management team. CHSi is an industry leading trusted provider of on-site health centers for the U.S. government and national examination programs for government and commercial clients.

Paul Desilets was named vice president of contracts and procurement and Joseph Bopp as vice president of international business development. Desilets and Bopp will be based in CHSi’s Reston, Va., office.

Desilets has more than 17 years of federal government experience, most recently as a Deputy Branch Chief for the U.S. Department of State, as well as with the U.S. Postal Service.

Bopp has more than 26 years of experience in high-level, diplomatic security operations within the U.S. Department of State, having worked in more than 70 countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Russia, and Kosovo, and often in remote and austere environments. Most recently, he was responsible for program management oversight and budgeting for the Department of State’s Worldwide Protective Services Program.

“CHSi is excited and proud to welcome Paul and Joe to our team,” said CHSi President Gary G. Palmer. “Their vast knowledge of operations and international expertise from within the State Department will be invaluable to the CHSi team as we continue to deliver innovative medical management solutions to enhance the mission effectiveness for the State Department and all our federal clients.”

Since 2007, CHSi has been active in overseas medical services operations. The company currently supports five medical services contracts worldwide.
