History

Established in 1992.

Hamdard Center for Health and Human services is a not-​for-​profit health and social service agency whose mission is «to promote the physical and emotional health and psychological well-​being of individuals and families by offering hope, help, and healing.» Hamdard was established by co-​founders, the late Dr. Farzana Hamid and Dr. Mohammad Hamid, in 1992 as a proactive response to address the critical mental health needs of the South Asian and Middle Eastern communities. Hamdard’s philosophy is to meet the needs of the underserved through its comprehensive service model by providing culturally-​sensitive and linguistically-​appropriate services to families. The center has since expanded it’s service that include primary care, case management, geriatric services, health education, and community education and training.
