Hamdard Health Alliance

What Hamdard Health Alliance does

Hamdard Health Alliance (legally Hamdard Center for Health and Human Services, NFP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1992 by Dr. Mohammad Hamid and Dr. Farzana Hamid in response to gaps in mental health support for South Asian and Middle Eastern communities on Chicago's north side. The organization was granted FQHC status in 2013 under 42 U.S.C. 254b, with Federal Public Health Service deemed status, and operates three clinical sites in Chicagoland: Addison (228 E. Lake Street), Chicago/Rogers Park (1542 W. Devon Avenue), and Skokie (4159 Main Street), the latter opened in July 2025. Headcount is in the 51-100 band, the leadership team is headed by CEO Kiran Siddiqui, and the board is chaired by Adnaan Hamid, M.D., with the patient-majority composition required of FQHCs.

The service portfolio is delivered through a patient-centered medical home and includes primary care (adult, pediatric, and women's health), mental health counseling and psychiatry, substance use disorder treatment with medication-assisted therapy (Suboxone, Sublocade, Naltrexone, Buprenorphine), PrEP and STI services, care coordination, insurance navigation, telehealth virtual visits, and Adult Day Services for adults 60+. Underlying technology is conventional for the FQHC segment: athenahealth provides the patient portal with single sign-on access to health records, supplemented by standard EHR systems for cross-site care coordination. The 340B Drug Pricing Program is enabled through partnerships with Devon Discount Pharmacy, Walgreens (Addison), and CVS (Bensenville). A 29-week Medical Assistant Training Program is run in partnership with the National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMAA), with tuition covered for students who commit to post-graduation employment. Clinical and administrative staff speak up to 10 languages—including Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Telugu, and Spanish—to align with the patient demographic.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, federal FQHC grant funding under HHS, state funding via the Illinois Department on Aging for Adult Day Services, a sliding-fee discount program pegged to Federal Poverty Guidelines for uninsured and underinsured patients, 340B pharmacy spread, and tax-deductible donations and sponsorships. The organization touches approximately 5,000 individuals and families annually across Cook and DuPage Counties, with a patient demographic weighted toward South Asian, Middle Eastern, uninsured, and underserved populations. There is no equity funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue figure.
