Our story
About ATAcare, Inc.
ATAcare, Inc. is an officially incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to close the gap in health outcomes for underserved communities. We operate at the intersection of public health, pharmacy, clinical research, and community advocacy.
Our work is grounded in the belief that geography, income, and background should never determine the quality of care someone receives. We build programs that are medically rigorous, culturally responsive, and community-driven.
Founded in New York City by Abdoul R. Bouda — a PharmD candidate and translational medicine researcher — ATAcare brings together clinical expertise, community relationships, and a global perspective to drive lasting health change.

What we offer
Our programs
Each ATAcare program targets a specific gap in health access — from awareness and education to long-term disease management at home.
Health literacy & disease prevention
Community workshops, screenings, and education campaigns targeting cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and sickle cell disease. Delivered in English and French to serve our diverse communities.

At-home monitoring with medical devices
Distribution and training programs for blood pressure monitors, glucometers, and other devices that empower patients to track their health between clinical visits — reducing emergency events and improving outcomes.
Lifestyle modification coaching
One-on-one and group-based coaching supporting dietary changes, physical activity, stress reduction, and sustainable behavior change for people managing chronic conditions.
International clinic-pharmacy model (Burkina Faso)
An integrated clinical and pharmacy care model in development in Ouagadougou, focused on preventive care, medication access, and community health services for West African urban populations.
