Priti Pandya Patel

President Asian Indian Chamber of Commerce

My name is Priti Pandya-Patel. I am 49 years old and I have been in the healthcare industry for almost 30 years as clinician, administrator, provider and business women. I am drawn to this career by my passion for people and commitment to helping those lead quality lives. With a license and Associates in Physical Therapy, BA in Therapeutic Recreation Administration, an MBA in Healthcare Administration, MS in Psychology and in process of finishing a post graduate Board Certification in Applied Behavioral Analysis (BCBA), I have been involved in many aspects in the healthcare industry. This includes hospitals, sub-acute rehab facilities, independent diagnostic facilities and private practices. Currently, I am working within my own NJ based companies providing healthcare and IT consulting to other companies and as well as owning and operating in Sleep Diagnostics business.

I have been very involved in the community through efforts such as a sports coaching, volunteering and being a member in many non-profit organizations. I am currently also the President of the Asian Indian Chamber of Commerce and have been a board member for the past seven years. As a former Miss India NJ, I would like to be a role model for the Indo-American young women of this generation and give them inspiration, encouragement and confidence to be the best they can be.
