Sandy Mistry has 25 years experience in the medical field here in South Florida. As a medical technologist she has worked with Jupiter Internal Medicine Group for 17 years, Palm Beach Institute of Hematology & Oncology for four and a half years and currently works at JFK Medical Center. She unfortunately lost both her parents in 2011. Her father was a physician and her mother a talented artist who also designed floral arrangements. As their health was failing, Mistry noticed her parents’ quality of life was declining as they basically sat in their house and watched television all day. Padmaja, Mistry’s mother, was a creative and active woman who now had no outlet to express herself, socialize or participate in activities.
Mistry wants the community to know that SUNRISE Adult Day Care is dedicated to her mother and was created for seniors such as her mom so that they may have the opportunity to enjoy a good quality of life in their golden years unlike her mother did. In her interview, Mistry said, “In my 25 years of being in the healthcare profession, the Sunrise Adult Day Care mission is my proudest endeavor.” She then added, “I wish at this time to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Sam Zutshi. It was his expertise and diligence that saw Sunrise Adult Day Care to completion. Mr. Zutshi had the vision and is the Founder and Honorary President of Sunrise Adult Day Care. The energy and care he gave to the mission was boundless.”
Zutshi, originally from Kashmir, India has a rich and interesting background. Mr. Zutshi is the formerEditor/Publisher of National News Paper Asia Observer A South Asian weekly and International Magazine KASHMIR TODAY. KASHMIR TODAY exposed the propaganda being spread by neighboring Pakistan as well as the struggles of the people living with terrorism. Zutshi was recognized then as a Kashmiri activist in America and also was the founder and Chairman of the Kashmir Solidarity USA; a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and secular organization dedicated to stopping crime around the globe.
Zutshi served as a Commissioner of Human Rights and was elected Chairman of the Jersey City Human Rights Board. in Hudson County. He was also appointed Honorary Special Deputy Sheriff of Hudson County.
As if Zutshi wasn’t busy enough, he had the privilege of interviewing President Bill Clinton in a press conference live at the White House on CNN. He also interviewed President George H. Bush who awarded him an Honorable Mention Award for outstanding efforts in initiating an anti-terrorist movement in Kashmir.
When asked what he does during non-working hours, Zutshi said, “Magic is my hobby.” Come to find out, his stage name in the “Magic World” is Professor Kumar – Magician Maharaja of India and he is a renowned magician who began practicing his craft at around eight years old. Zutshi said that just a few months ago he met with David Copperfield in Las Vegas to discuss the famous Indian Rope Trick which Copperfield was interested in. Needless to say, Zutshi intends to continue his hobby for a long time and will perform for the seniors at his center.
When explaining how he got involved with SUNRISE Adult Day Care, Zutshi said, “My passion was to work with seniors so I wanted to help Sandy to establish this place.” He shared all the planned activities SUNRISE Adult Day Care provides such as table games, music, bingo, laughing yoga, exercising, beauty days, learning to use the computer and Skype, field trips, and more. He added that there will be a CNA on hand at the center and that he and Mistry are dedicated to helping increase the quality of life for seniors in their golden years.
