Telecare was founded in 1965 by Art Gladman, a psychiatrist, Lida Hahn, a psychiatric nurse, and Morton Bakar, a businessman — three individuals who were committed to a belief in the recovery potential of people experiencing serious mental illness. Art, Lida, and Morton believed that clients could achieve better results when they received services that were individualized, focused, and provided in welcoming and hopeful settings. They placed the client at the center of the organization and created a deliberate culture where recovery can thrive. Their vision still guides Telecare today and is carried on by Anne Bakar, Telecare's President and CEO, and daughter of co-founder Morton Bakar, who heads up our family- and employee-owned company. While Telecare has evolved over the years to address the changing needs of the people we serve, our overarching goal remains the same. Our mission is to deliver excellent and effective behavioral health services that engage individuals with complex needs in recovering their health, hopes, and dreams. We exist to help people realize their full potential. We are proud to provide an inclusive, respectful, welcoming, supportive workplace.
