MINNEAPOLIS - A new Family Medicine Doctor, Dr. Hindi Hussein, has come to Northeast Minneapolis this fall to practice medicine, care for underserved communities and strengthen access to care. She is passionate about care for the whole family regardless of whether people are insured or can pay their deductible. She is invested in this community and the health of people who live here.
Neighborhood HealthSource is proud to welcome her to their Central Clinic. Holding a medical degree from Howard University, she cares for people in all stages of life with a special interest in pediatrics, women’s health and prenatal care. About her work, she says,
“Having grown up in an underserved region, it has always been my goal to join an organization whose mission it is to provide quality health care for underserved populations.”
Dr. Hussein is fluent in Somali and English. Her philosophy of care: strengthening patients’ own advocacy for their health care, taking into account not just their health status but their whole wellbeing—job experience, living environment, overall factors in their life—and how that impacts their health. She is committed to access to care for everyone that takes into account cultural nuances with sensitivity to any socioeconomic or language barriers people may face.
Outside work, Dr. Hussein is interested in travel medicine, global health and medical missions.
