Venetian Care & Rehabilitation in South Amboy welcomes pulmonologist Avtar S. Parhar, MD, nephrologist Deepali Prasad, MD, and cardiologist Shaddy K. Younan, MD, to its clinical leadership team. The appointments mark a significant specialized care program expansion at the South Amboy skilled nursing center.

All three doctors are affiliated with Hackensack Meridian Health, and each brings more than 20 years of experience in their specialty practices.

“The additions of Dr. Parhar, Dr. Prasad and Dr. Younan to the Venetian team reflect the center’s emphasis on partnering with leading regional specialists and expanding its market-specific programming,” noted Jennifer Lucas, regional director of care transition at Marquis Health Consulting Services, which supports Venetian. “These physicians are well known for their medical expertise and caring approach. Venetian is pleased to welcome them to its talented team as it continues to align its care initiatives with the healthcare needs of area residents.” 

• Dr. Parhar is directing Venetian’s RespiraCare Pulmonary Rehab, which is designed to enhance lung function and support overall well-being after an illness or hospitalization. Services are tailored to assist individuals with all levels of pulmonary function, from newly diagnosed patients to those managing chronic respiratory conditions.
• With Dr. Prasad’s leadership, Venetian’s RenalX program provides specialized care and services to patients with chronic kidney disease and related diagnoses, to help preserve kidney function and prevent further decline through treatment and education. This includes protocols to reduce symptoms, decrease disability and increase quality of life.
• Under Dr. Younan’s direction, Venetian’s CardioPro cardiac rehab program focuses on reducing symptoms and decreasing disability in heart patients. Services are designed to assist individuals suffering from challenging or life-threatening heart conditions, including those recovering from a cardiac event or surgical procedure, and those at risk for cardiovascular disease.

All three specialty care program models, available to Marquis-serviced skilled nursing clients, are clinician-led collaborations with the center’s multidisciplinary care team. They are designed to support whole-person wellness as patients work to maximize their strength and independence. Patients benefit from consults with board-certified specialists, a customized treatment plan with advanced therapies and technologies, nutrition counseling, and patient and caregiver education. Care is coordinated from pre-admission through discharge and transition home, with a central goal to reduce hospital re-admission.
