Historyedit
JFK Medical Center began in the 1960s as a grassroots campaign in response to the increasing demand for health care services created by a rapid population growth occurring in Edison, Woodbridge, Metuchen, and surrounding communities. The late Edison mayor, Anthony M. Yelencsics, for whom the original community hospital was named, led this effort. Mayor Yelencsics was appointed board chairman of the future hospital and his first official action was to establish a Women's Auxiliary. The Mayor asked long-time community resident and advocate, Mrs. Charles Wira of Edison to take on the responsibility of starting the Auxiliary – in order to raise funds and solicit support for the future community hospital. Mayor Yelencsics convinced Edison officials to donate nearly 40 acres of township land for the hospital. He then lobbied with congressional leaders – such as Middlesex County's own Rep. Edward J. Patten – to win $1.1 million in Hill-Burton funds, which at the time represented the largest single grant awarded in the state of New Jersey under that program. By this time, before the hospital had even opened its doors, more than $110,000 in pledges had been raised in community donations by the Auxiliary.
In 1974, the JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute (JRI) was added as a major component of JFK Medical Center. JFK Johnson is the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of the RutgersRobert Wood Johnson Medical School. In 1992, JFK Neuroscience Institute (NSI) was started. In 1997, Solaris Health System was formed by joining JFK Medical Center and Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield, New Jersey. In 2009, JFK Stroke & Neurovascular Center was established. JFK Medical Center, hence became, a premier Comprehensive Stroke Center in the State of New Jersey. In 2018, JFK Medical Center became an integral part of Hackensack Meridian Health with a merger resulting in JFK providing a leadership role for the largest Health Network in Central New Jersey. JFK Medical Center also became the academic hub in Central New Jersey for the newly established Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall University. To integrate the Patient Care, Educational and Research Goals across the newly formed network of hospitals spanning North, Central and South New Jersey Clinical Transformation Services were formed. A very active system-wide Stroke Council has been the flag bearer of Health care integration in the region. Stroke Council was established by Central Region President and CEO Mr. Raymond Fredericks in May, 2018. He nominated Jawad F. Kirmani, MD as the Founding Chair of the System Wide HMH Stroke Council. Stroke Council further established North, Central and Southern NJ Region Task Forces in April, 2019. Many of the best Stroke Neurologists, Neurosurgeons and Neurointerventionalists have featured in Stroke Council meetings in collaborative efforts to transform stroke care across the region.
