HCD International is now a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.
Compelled to serve his country, both home and abroad, Jimmie Drummond,
Jr. primary owner of HCD International joined the U.S. Air Force in
December, 2000.  Committed to delivering high quality health care
services to the men and women in uniform he served at Andrews Air Force
Base in the 459th Medical Squadron.  In May, 2006, he received orders to
lead his team in an assignment to Balad, Iraq.  Here he served as one of
the Air Force's Flight Surgeon's caring for the wounded soldiers and
flying many to Germany for a higher level of care.  Jimmie clearly
exemplified great leadership and character as he remained in Iraq
despite his personal injuries to ensure his entire team returned home
safely.  Thank you Dr. Drummond for your commitment to serve your fellow
men and women fighting for freedom.

Taking a break from her normally busy schedule, President of HCD International, Jean Drummond took the time to celebrate a mentor, a woman with tremendous legacy, and a woman of peace, Dr. Dorothy Height.  In the early inception of HCDI, the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) awarded HCDI one of its initial contracts to reach communities that are often forgotten. This initial contract award lead to HCDI supporting many of the NCNW Black Family Reunion Health Education Pavilions.

Mrs. Drummond recently spoke with Dr. Height at a conference in Las Vegas.

“ Dr. Height’s relentless commitment to serving all regardless of race or economic status while advancing the call of NCNW will always be a guiding inspiration for me,” said Drummond when reflecting on how Dr. Height has been a mentor to her.
