For more than two decades, the Brevard Indo-American Medical and Dental Association has been a cornerstone of professional community in Melbourne, FL and the surrounding region. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Mahesh Soni and Glad Kurian, who envisioned a networking medical society built on shared values and community connection, BIMDA has grown into a vibrant organization of 225-plus healthcare professionals dedicated to education, leadership, and service.
