Jersey City Medical Center (JCMC), Hudson County’s only not-for-profit hospital, continues to bring its mission of “Enhancing Life” to Hudson County communities with its free Bollywood Film Festival, March 22nd at 6pm, with the premiere of ‘Jai Ho’.
The theater at the Jersey City Museum, currently JCMC’s offices at 350 Montgomery Street, will welcome the South Asian community with the screening as well as the opportunity to meet staff from the Medical Center.
“We’re extremely proud to offer this free event to public. As part of our mission we’re always looking for ways to make sure we meet the needs of our patient population today and in the future,” said Joseph F. Scott, President & CEO. “We hope that this event will serve as a chance for us to connect with residents and provide any support needed.”
The growth of the South Asian population in Jersey City has been significant over the past decade, with Hudson County now home to the second largest population in the state.
“I have been in Jersey City for the past 5 years and am very happy to be part of an institution that has created a nice platform to engage the community,” said Dr. Pragnesh Gadhvi, a Cardiologist at JCMC.
The Medical Center will continue the Bollywood Film Series throughout the year at the Museum. Named one of the area’s top hospitals, it has received the coveted Magnet Award for nursing excellence as well as an A Rating in Safety.
