Our life journeys are personal and distinctive. Yet, we rarely go through them alone. If we are lucky, we find a community to join us, help us, and support us on our journey.
At Chase Brexton, implicit in our mission and vision is the goal to be that community to our patients. A community health center is a unique entity serving as, what many call, a safety net provider for those who may otherwise be unable to access care. However, it is our intention to not simply serve in cases of need but to provide as a community of care for the many lives we touch.
We don't heal in isolation, but in community.
From our attendance at more than 100 outreach events providing testing and education to our Every Meal Matters food security program which provided recipes, education, and more than 99,000 pounds of food to more than 6,600 patients, our commitment to expanding access to care goes beyond medical care and into the everyday lives of those in the communities around us.

A community of care. What many may need on their life journey is here. Often, our patients are surprised by how much they deserve and will receive from this community called Chase Brexton. We are grateful to be a part of our communities and be a part of the lives of our patients. We hope they know they are deserving of exceptional care.
