Our Story
Compass Health Systems, P.A. was founded in July, 1990 by Scott D. Segal, M.D., a triple Board Certified Psychiatrist when he opened the first office in Miami Beach, Florida. Since then, Compass Health Systems has grown to cover the tri-county area in South Florida, (which includes Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties), Charleston, South Carolina and Colorado Springs, Denver, and Loveland, Colorado.
Each of our 9 offices features a multi-disciplinary team built around at least 1 Board-Certified Psychiatrist. Our teams consist of Primary Care Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Mental Health Therapists, Family and Marriage Therapists and Certified Addiction Professionals.
Continuum of care is ensured by our affiliation with 12 inpatient facilities and our continued commitment to the advancement of treatments in the arena of CNS and women's health through our sister company Segal Institute for Clinical Research www.segalinstitute.com and www.segaltrials.com.
