Chimes Company

The sound of bells can induce a message of hope. The Chimes is a private agency serving the needs of about 10,000 people of all ages with mental and physical disabilities. The organization offers a wide range of health, education, job training and placement, housing, and social services in the mid-Atlantic states of the US and in Tel Aviv, Israel. The Chimes offers similar services through two subsidiaries, Developmental Services of New Jersey and Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems. The agency was established in 1947 when a group of Baltimore parents used space in a church to found a school for their mentally disabled children.
