Chase Brexton has locations in the Mount Vernon section of Baltimore, and in Columbia, Easton, Glen Burnie, MICA, and Randallstown.
Chase Brexton Health Care recently received more than $400,000 in federal grants recognizing its national leadership in quality care metrics and expanding its dental care programs.
