Chase Brexton opens its doors to wider community

The Chase Brexton clinic in downtown Baltimore developed a reputation for caring for AIDS patients for nearly 30 years, even before they had the understanding or sympathy of the nation. Not so many people know they now offer community clinic services to anyone, regardless of AIDS status or ability to pay.

Chase Brexton opened its second facility in Randallstown in 1999 and a third in Columbia last month. They offer comprehensive AIDS care, preventive medicine and a network of visiting specialists, as well as in-house pharmacies and drug addiction and treatment services. Health care is priced on a sliding scale, based on patient?s ability to pay.
