In 1961, Mayor Anthony Yelencsics recognized the need for a community hospital in Edison to provide high quality, accessible care and create good jobs. That idea flourished and, in 1967, JFK Medical Center opened its doors to our first patients. Beginning with just 200 beds, JFK Medical Center introduced the region to a culture of excellence combining high technology and clinical specialists who deliver comprehensive and compassionate care. 50 years later, JFK Medical Center is now one of New Jersey’s most comprehensive facilities, having transformed from a community hospital to an award winning and nationally recognized expert in neuroscience and rehabilitation. Our growth and determination to meet and exceed the needs of our youngest community members to our senior population are stronger than ever as we add new clinical services, expand access to more locations and collaborate with our physicians in new and exciting ways. Today we acknowledge every gift donated to build the hospital – from local business, civic and social organizations to the township residents who went door-to-door collecting funds. Recognition goes to our donors, boards of directors, administrators, physicians, nurses, staff and employees, auxilians and volunteers for taking the vision expressed by the Mayor in a single phone call and turning it into a reality. JFK is proud to be an indispensable healthcare resource to the communities we serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee5b30b46d720001bf17bc/1559865217329-M33GS9EUJR19ZKHE38SK/KnackSystems_logo_edited.jpg Newsfeed - Wine testing fundraiser 2017 - Knack Systems Knack Systems - as a premium SAP consulting partner - implements cutting-edge SAP, business management, customer engagement, and commerce solutions across various channels including call center, e-commerce, e-service, partner channel, mobile filed sales and service, and marketing.

After successfully running IMMUSA for over 25 years, Satish and the IMMUSA Board has brought in new executive team to lead IMMUSA starting June 2017. A street in Edison is named ‘Mehtani Way’ in recognition of an Indian American whose portfolio of restaurants has contributed to popularizing Indian cuisine and enriching the culture and economy of the township. As a prominent leader in the Indian community, Mr. Mehtani earned this honor by his humanitarian and civic good works on behalf of people in need around the world. Mr. Mehtani arrived in the U.S. in March 1970 from India where, as an engineer, he had won a ‘Gold Medal’ for the construction of an Indo-Swiss Training Centre for Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. In the first year as an agent in the insurance industry, he broke the 125 year old sales record in New York Life Insurance Company. After that he ventured into the hospitality industry with his wife, Sneh Mehtani, and opened a chain of eleven (11) fine-dining Indian and pan-Asian restaurants in New York, New Jersey and St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. US Congress majority leader Dick Gephardt saluted Satish Mehtani for his humanitarian missions around the world. In 2008, he launched Edison Day Care Center in partnership with Dr. Patel to provide relief and comfort to seniors, the most vulnerable segment of our society. In 1991, Mr. Mehtani provided humanitarian disaster relief on a major scale in Kuwait, earning the praise of the Kuwaiti royal family. Following September 11th, his staff made 10,000 meals for rescue workers and set up the food distribution on the site. In 1992, Mr. Mehtani was appointed as co-chairman of the National Finance Committee by President Bill Clinton, becoming the first Asian American to hold this vital position. After the tsunami and earthquake in Japan, he and his associate Gita Patel distributed thousands of CDs of healing music to help victims of trauma and depression. “I have done my best to help the needy in the community where I live and work,” says Mr. Mehtani. He arrived in the US in 1970 as a civil engineer from New Delhi, but found himself working two non-engineering jobs — as a bank teller and a retailer. In a multifaceted career, he has cobbled together an empire of eight restaurants and has become something of a political rainmaker, raising $2 million altogether for Bill Clinton, Bill Bradley and others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee5b30b46d720001bf17bc/00fe4a0d-8248-4c17-94ed-0f883f8a6052/Screen+Shot+2022-10-10+at+4.50.57+PM.png Executive Management - DR.

After successfully presiding over IMMUSA for little over 25 years, Satish and the IMMUSA Board has brought in new executive team to to lead IMMUSA starting June 2017. A street in Edison is named ‘Mehtani Way’ in recognition of an Indian American whose portfolio of restaurants has contributed to popularizing Indian cuisine and enriching the culture and economy of the township. As a prominent leader in the Indian community, Mr. Mehtani earned this honor by his humanitarian and civic good works on behalf of people in need around the world. Mr. Mehtani arrived in the U.S. in March 1970 from India where, as an engineer, he had won a ‘Gold Medal’ for the construction of an Indo-Swiss Training Centre for Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. In the first year as an agent in the insurance industry, he broke the 125 year old sales record in New York Life Insurance Company. After that he ventured into the hospitality industry with his wife, Sneh Mehtani, and opened a chain of eleven (11) fine-dining Indian and pan-Asian restaurants in New York, New Jersey and St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. US Congress majority leader Dick Gephardt saluted Satish Mehtani for his humanitarian missions around the world. In 2008, he launched Edison Day Care Center in partnership with Dr. Patel to provide relief and comfort to seniors, the most vulnerable segment of our society. In 1991, Mr. Mehtani provided humanitarian disaster relief on a major scale in Kuwait, earning the praise of the Kuwaiti royal family. Following September 11th, his staff made 10,000 meals for rescue workers and set up the food distribution on the site. In 1992, Mr. Mehtani was appointed as co-chairman of the National Finance Committee by President Bill Clinton, becoming the first Asian American to hold this vital position. After the tsunami and earthquake in Japan, he and his associate Gita Patel distributed thousands of CDs of healing music to help victims of trauma and depression. “I have done my best to help the needy in the community where I live and work,” says Mr. Mehtani. He arrived in the US in 1970 as a civil engineer from New Delhi, but found himself working two non-engineering jobs — as a bank teller and a retailer. In a multifaceted career, he has cobbled together an empire of eight restaurants and has become something of a political rainmaker, raising $2 million altogether for Bill Clinton, Bill Bradley and others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee5b30b46d720001bf17bc/1559221565577-IVJRECEQJY95R3FIX2BG/5.jpg Board of trustees https://www.immusa.org/message-from-the-founder daily 0.75 2019-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee5b30b46d720001bf17bc/1559823429076-Q13V5H25LKJ4SJX12UCD/IMM_03.jpg Message from the founder https://www.immusa.org/message-from-the-president-and-ceo daily 0.75 2019-06-06 https://www.immusa.org/about-mission-of-mercy daily 0.75 2019-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee5b30b46d720001bf17bc/1559672632389-NBAXAGKKP0BXFARXJT7B/mark-chaves-722497-unsplash.jpg About Mission of Mercy The professional team committed to IMM includes renowned physicians in the fields of pediatrics, geriatrics, orthopedics, infectious disease, ophthalmology, pain management, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, psychology, physical therapy, nuclear medicine and more.
