Owner and Founder of Behavioral Healthcare Services, a practice he still leads after more than 25 years.
About:
Born and raised in the capital of Damascus, Bahnassi graduated high school at 16 and finished medical school at 22. The day after graduation, he left. "I was ready," he said. Bahnassi came to Worcester in the early 1980s for a residency program at UMass Medical Center as a psychiatrist and never left. After completing his residency, he started Behavioral Healthcare Services, a practice he still leads after more than 25 years. In February, Bahnassi completed construction of a new $5-million facility on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester to house his psychiatry practice, which has grown to 20 employees. The four-story development, of which Behavioral Healthcare Services will take up two floors, is among the few new office buildings to be constructed in Worcester as the demand grows.
