With the 2019 Baltimore AIDS Walk & Music Festival now halfway to its goal of $150,000, Chase Brexton Health Care is excited to announce the lineup of performers and Community Partners joining us at Power Plant Live! on Sunday, June 9.
Thanks to the hard work of our teams, sponsors, and Community Partners, more than $85,000 has been raised as of early April. Chase Brexton seeks to raise at least $150,000 to fund a newly established HIV medication messenger delivery service.
Maryland lawmakers on March 25 passed legislation supported by testimony from Chase Brexton Health Care providers allowing the prescription of HIV-preventing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to minors without parental permission.
The bill now heads to Governor Larry Hogan to be signed into law.
PrEP is a single daily pill which is overwhelmingly effective in reducing an individual’s risk of contracting HIV if they are exposed to the virus. Chase Brexton has been a leader in Baltimore and Central Maryland in prescribing PrEP.
Daurice Gorham of The LGBT Health Resource Center and Michelle Taylor from our Randallstown Center were recently honored by The Healthcare Council of the National Capital Area's Annual Employee of the Year Awards for their dedication to quality and patient satisfaction. Congratulations Daurice and Michelle!
