New York City Mayor Eric Adams hosted a reception on June 9, 2025, to honor Indian American healthcare professionals for their contributions to the city’s medical field. The event was held at Gracie Mansion and organized in partnership with the Federation of Indian Physicians Associations (FIPA) and the Health Care Advisory Council.
The reception was coordinated by Dr. Raj Bhayani, President of American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin Queens, Long Island and held on the recommendation of New York-based entrepreneur Al Mason, who played a key role in advising the Mayor on organizing the evening.
“This evening is a true honor,” said Mason while introducing Mayor Adams. “The honorable Mayor Eric Adams has always embraced the Indian American community with warmth. He has respected the community, celebrated their festivals, and honored them on numerous occasions.”
Mason added that the Mayor’s leadership had made a significant impact on the city. “He has uplifted all communities citywide, supported small businesses, and stood firm for law and order with fairness. He’s also been a strong voice for mental health.”
Highlighting the administration’s economic achievements, Mason said, “His administration has returned $30 billion to the pockets of working-class New Yorkers through bold, creative actions.”
He emphasized Adams’ record-breaking approach to job creation: “Mayor Adams has made history by creating more jobs than any other mayor in New York City’s history — breaking his own record not once, not twice, but eleven times.”
Mason said that if the Mayor’s vision could be summed up in one word, it would be “affordability.”
“It’s not a slogan. It’s a promise delivered. New York is better because of him,” Mason said, calling on the audience to support Adams in the next election.
“Stand with Eric Adams. Let’s get him re-elected. Tell your friends — in the Indian community and beyond — about the good work he has done and why he deserves your vote.”
The evening brought together Indian American doctors, healthcare workers, and city officials to recognize the community’s service and celebrate their achievements in the healthcare sector.
