OUR STORY
Rooted in Service.
Inspired by Experience.
Compassionate Care Collective was established in 2025 by individuals who share a commitment to service and helping others.
The organization grew from a shared desire to bring people together supporting the Muslim community and local businesses in San Antonio, while also working toward a charitable medical center in Karachi, Pakistan.
Guided by personal experiences and a belief in the power of community, we focus on creating opportunities and expanding access where it's needed most.

Born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, Dr. Syed Javed Umer graduated from Dow Medical College in 1982. He completed his internal medicine residency and cardiology fellowship in the United States, with additional training in interventional cardiology in Canada.
With more than 30 years of experience in cardiology, Dr. Umer currently practices with Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology.
As he approaches retirement, Dr. Umer's goal is to give back to his hometown by establishing a charitable medical center in Karachi. He is working alongside four other physicians to advance the Karachi Medical Center project, beginning with efforts to identify suitable land and lay the foundation for the future facility.
