Mumbai:
Demonstrating the power of sustained corporate social responsibility and community collaboration, the Lions Club of Juhu, in partnership with Powerica Limited, has successfully implemented several landmark healthcare initiatives that are improving patient care, expanding access to critical medical services, and enhancing healthcare infrastructure across Maharashtra.
Over the years, this partnership has delivered impactful projects across pediatric healthcare, cancer care, and community health access, benefiting thousands of patients and their families.
Among the most notable initiatives is the 10,000 sq. ft. Lions Juhu Therapy Park at Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, Mumbai, a first-of-its-kind pediatric therapy and rehabilitation park conceived by Dr. Urmila Kamat, designed to integrate play, recreation, and therapy in a child-friendly outdoor environment.
The Therapy Park supports physiotherapy, sensory development, rehabilitation, and social interaction for both abled and differently-abled children.
Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, India’s first and largest pediatric hospital, serves over 1 lakh children through its outpatient services and is internationally recognized for its advanced neonatal and pediatric care. The Therapy Park complements the hospital’s holistic approach towards child development, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery.
Further strengthening healthcare infrastructure, the partnership enabled the creation of the 8,260 sq. ft. Radiotherapy Ward at Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, one of India’s premier cancer treatment institutions supported equally by Powerica Limited and Lokhandwala Township, through the Geeta Rohokale Foundation. The facility enhances the treatment environment for cancer patients and supports the delivery of critical oncology services to thousands of beneficiaries each year.
Most recently, Lions Club of Juhu and Powerica supported the deployment of a Health Access Vehicle for Dr. M. L. Dhawale Homeopathy Charitable Hospital, Palghar. The vehicle has been introduced to improve healthcare accessibility for residents of remote and underserved communities, helping patients reach medical facilities in a timely manner and facilitating access to essential healthcare services. The initiative addresses a critical gap in last-mile healthcare delivery and is expected to benefit thousands of patients across the Palghar region.
These projects collectively reflect a shared commitment to addressing critical healthcare needs through sustainable, need-based interventions that create meaningful and long-lasting community impact.
Speaking on the partnership, Lion Chetan Shah said:
“Meaningful social impact is created when corporate commitment, community organizations, and healthcare institutions work together with a shared purpose. Our partnership with Powerica Limited is a testament to this approach.
Over the years, we have focused on identifying critical gaps in healthcare infrastructure and accessibility and developing solutions that create long-term value for patients and communities. Whether it is enhancing patient care environments, strengthening medical infrastructure, or improving access to healthcare for underserved populations, the objective has always been to create sustainable and measurable impact.
We are grateful to the leadership of Powerica Limited, particularly Late Shri Naresh Oberoi, Shri Bharat Oberoi, Ms. Renu Oberoi, and Mr. Jai Ram Oberoi, for their continued trust and commitment towards initiatives that improve lives and strengthen community healthcare systems. Their support has enabled us to convert vision into action and deliver meaningful outcomes for those who need them most.”
The partnership between Lions Club of Juhu and Powerica stands as a strong example of how corporate leadership, community organizations, and healthcare institutions can work together to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, improve accessibility, and positively impact lives across urban and rural communities alike.
