Chase Brexton opens third site in Md.

Friday, September 22, 2006

(The Sun in Howard) --

Chase Brexton Health Services Inc. opened its third Maryland site Monday at 5500 Knoll North Drive in Oakland Mills village.

 The Columbia center received funding from the Horizon Foundation to assess the community's need for affordable health care and determined, through a study conducted by Maryland Community Health System (of which Chase Brexton is a founding member) that a need existed. With help from Horizon, Chase Brexton has extended its services into Howard County.

 The new center will provide insured, uninsured and underinsured children and adults with primary and preventive care, as well as mental health and case management services.  Eventually, it will be the first Chase Brexton location to offer consultations in integrative medicine, combining conventional and complementary therapies.  Dental care, substance-abuse services and an on-site pharmacy are also planned.

 Fees are on a sliding scale, and help is available with state and federal assistance programs.  Medicare and Medicaid patients are served.

 The nonprofit organization also has offices in Baltimore and in Randallstown, a center that opened this year.
