Timonium-based mental health service provider Mosaic Community Services said it will merge with another provider, the North Baltimore Center, as of Thursday and expand its reach into Baltimore City from surrounding counties.
The merger gives the providers a combined client base of 20,000 a year, staff of more than 700 and budget of about $36 million.
The move by the two, both affiliates of Sheppard Pratt Health System Inc., will allow better management of programs and finances, officials said.
