With the aim of providing quality health care services to the people of Nanganallur and its surrounding areas, the Hindu Mission Health Services (HMHS) was started. A group of socially-inclined people took it upon themselves to start the health care unit in a nearby school premises. All this was achieved with the blessings and guidance of His Holiness Shri Jayaendra Saraswathi Swamigal. On June 14, 1985, the HMHS commenced its services as a dispensary and was registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act in April 1986.
