Sachin H. Jain: By profession, he was a healer

Sachin H. Jain, President and CEO of Scan Group and Health Plan, shared on LinkedIn:

“We regret to share the sad news that our father, Subhash Jain passed away today.

He was born in 1946 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan as the second son of Champalal and Kesar Bai Jain and married to his dear wife Sarla (Duggar) Jain in 1968. After working as a physician in Banswada, India he made the difficult decision to immigrate to the United States.

Over the following years, he would build a life in the metropolitan New York area and establish himself as a foremost authority in the management of pain, proudly founding and then leading the pain service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for over 20 years; an endowed lecture is held in his honor annually. He was a dedicated leader of his profession, but he wore his identity proudly. He was a leader, too, in the Indian physician and Jain religious community.

By profession, he was a healer. But his passions extended to music, poetry, spirituality, community service to his native India and, most importantly his family and his friends—with a particular enduring love for his brothers and sisters. He was the revered patriarch of a family that includes his wife, children—Narpat/Archana, Roopam/Sapna, and Sachin/Jennifer—and grandchildren—Sidharth/Aashi, Rishab, Sambhav, Aadesh, and Parshav. In a lifetime of achievements—it was his family of which he was most proud.

We will be holding a wake, prayer, and funeral in his honor at Frank Patti Funeral Home in Fort Lee, NJ on November 18 at 11 am. We thank everyone for their prayers in this time of grieving and reflection.”
