Andy Zipay
Social Work Case Manager I
20 years
Andy says, "I am very thankful to hit this milestone. I will always be grateful for my internship at HERO for helping to get me the job at Chase. That was my only experience with social work and Chase hired me on the limb because of that short experience. They saw potential in me. And I am so thankful for the ones that hired me.
I love working at Chase Brexton because of the diverse population that we serve. I really like that we are a place where patients and staff feel comfortable to be who they are. Whenever I get the chance to tell people where I work, I feel so proud to tell. I always get really good reactions from people. I’m so proud of the rich history Chase has with the LGBTQ+ community. I love doing case management work. One of my supervisors once said that it’s a good fit for me. And she was right. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I always try to put the client first and think each day I come to work “how can I help a client today?” Being part of SWOD, I have to say that I have been blessed to work under great Directors (3 so far). I have also had great supervisors (5 so far). I will continue to do my work as long as Chase allows and am thankful for each and every year.

Staff Physician
13 Years
Dr. Connor says, "Cheers to 13 years! As a native Marylander, I wanted to return to the area after my training to serve the community. When I started, it was just a job now it is my home. The doctor patient relationships that I have developed over the last 13 years have been meaningful and rewarding. I was drawn to the mission of Chase Brexton and have found my goal fulfilled of being the family medicine physician I dreamed of as a young adult. I am lucky to have supportive colleagues and leadership team to continue my journey at Chase Brexton."

Chief Medical Officer

Dr. Ruhs says, "Chase Brexton Health Care (CBHC) is a special place where all are welcome. I am honored to be a part of a healthcare home that meets our patients where they are, regardless of insurance status. CBHC patients come to us looking for a place that is respectful, approaches care without judgement and affirms all their identities. I am proud to help make that a reality for our patients. Throughout my 11-year tenure, I have worked alongside a team of professionals that live the mission. Seeing the comradery among staff as we serve our patient population each day is inspiring and fuels my passion for the work."
