The Edison Township School Board election is on November 5, 2019, and I am so proud to endorse Sparshil Patel, a young and dynamic business owner for the board of education seat. Born and raised in Edison, NJ, Sparshil is a successful business owner in New Jersey and a proud father of four months old daughter.

Sparshil Patel is employed in the healthcare business and earned his bachelor’s degree from New York Institute of Technology, a master’s degree in public health from St. George’s University, a medical degree from Xaviar University School of Medicine, and is a certified assisted living administrator by Long Tree and Associates. Besides his full-time business, Sparshil is actively involved in many community projects to include basic health care and fund-raising efforts for needy people here in the USA and India. He successfully organized free flu vaccine fairs, health screening & disease prevention and awareness fairs for uninsured individuals in our communities for the past many years. He also provides his time in volunteering and sponsoring the annual Santa’s Little Helper Toy Drive with Unity SME. Sparshil is actively involved in sponsoring local trips to help seniors in Edison/Piscataway townships with various social wellness projects. He is actively involved in education project for a non-profit with the Santram Kanyashala, school for Girls in Santram Mandir, Nadiad, India. In November 2019, Sparshil will be hosting and organizing a fundraising gala to benefit eye hospital in rural India to treat debilitating diseases that can lead to blindness for underprivileged, less fortunate and needy people.

Sparshil is committed to fix the problems of school system in Edison and wanted to have a bright future for our next generation without any political or personal gain. I have known Sparshil for his community involvement for more than a decade and his commitment for community and public work. His father Dr. Indravadan T. Patel, a well-known, dedicated and sincere physician in our community whom I have known for more than three decades due to his medical service to needy people in our community. I am very confident that Sparshil will be a great asset to the board and work together for all communities and walks of life to get things done to bring education system in Edison to a next level. I urge the voters in Edison Township to go out and vote for Sparshil Patel in Column E for Edison Board of Education.
