Chase Brexton Health Care recently made several organizational changes in support of achieving our strategic plan and the pillars of quality, patient experience, employee engagement and growth.
Each year, March 31 is celebrated internationally as Transgender Day of Visibility, an important chance to celebrate the successes and contributions of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals.
Unlike Transgender Day of Remembrance, observed annually on November 20 to remember those who have lost their lives to anti-transgender violence, Transgender Day of Remembrance honors the lives of transgender and gender non-confirming individuals around the world.
The physical toll of the COVID-19 pandemic is measured in new cases and medical outcomes, but hidden costs of the pandemic are often borne by those who may never contract the virus.
The stresses of the pandemic and the restricted lives most Americans face have caused a surge in the demand for behavioral health services. This need comes not just from those already in care who find themselves cut off from their traditional appointments and groups, but also from individuals who might never before have needed behavioral health assistance.
Chase Brexton Health Care will make much-needed upgrades to its centers in central Maryland and purchase important new equipment thanks to a $750,000 grant from The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation.
Funding from the capital grant will serve to provide safer and more secure access for Chase Brexton’s 36,000 patients across its five centers across Maryland.
A significant portion of the grant will be used to make exterior repairs to Chase Brexton’s historic Mt. Vernon Center, an architecturally significant building first opened in 1928.
Chase Brexton Health Care’s Board of Directors recently named new officers and four new members, who will help oversee its five centers across central Maryland and their care of more than 40,000 patients.
Elected by the board as officers were Juan Negrin, President; Kathy Ward, Vice President; and Russ Montgomery, Treasurer; the Rev. Paula Teague will continue as Secretary. Each will serve a two-year term, ending Dec. 31, 2022.
