The ISC was founded by Dr. Narsinh Patel in 2001. The organization’s main goal is to give a social platform for Indian-American seniors, to congregate periodically, help organize cultural activities including monthly meetings, hold informational seminars, arrange trips to interesting places, organize picnics, group travel to local and international destinations. The organization gives special consideration to widowed spouses of deceased single seniors to help them address their risk of developing depression due to loneliness and isolation.
