Medstar Laboratories, Inc. expands Golden Diners senior program to West Side

With a mission to give back to the community, Medstar Laboratory, Inc. president Neal Patel and his brother, chief operating officer Raj Patel, announced on January 10th that their company has launched a pilot program to expand their gourmet sit-down meals to 125 low-income seniors in two of the Habilitative Systems, Inc. buildings on the West Side of Chicago.

In an interview at his Hillside office, Neal Patel told the Chicago Crusader they are expanding their Golden Diners senior program. “We want to make them happy, make them feel special. Our team will go out there and serve them.”

If this pilot program to feed the food insecure seniors goes well, Neal Patel said his company will expand the free gourmet meal program citywide.
