HRDI
Human Resources Development Institute, Inc. (HRDI) is one of the largest Certified Behavioral Health Clinics in Chicago. Founded by Dr. C. Vincent Bakeman and Doris M. Lomax, HRDI is a organization with 200 employees. For 49 years, HRDI has developed an infrastructure that far surpasses the traditional social service organizational structure to become a health and human service enterprise that serves more than 8,000 clients annually across various service areas. Nearly 99% of the clients are at the lowest range of the socio-economic ladder, and exhibit a host of challenges that expose them to major leading causes of premature death, including homicide, sexually-transmitted diseases, HIV infection, and poor health maintenance. HRDI continues to be at the forefront of addressing the many health issues affecting the communities it serves and provides over 30 programs in the areas of alcohol and substance use disorder; youth prevention; family services; community health; case management; mental health and disabilities; alternative youth education; HIV/AIDS prevention and education; and gambling prevention and education. Select programs at HRDI are accredited by The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
