Baps Yogiji Maharaj Hospital

Our hospital is located on Shahibaug Road, right in the Pramukh Vatika area. It is basically across from the Baps Swaminarayan Temple, which is a huge landmark around here. Most of us have worked here for years and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. The traffic on Shahibaug Road can be a real headache during peak hours, so we tell people to plan ahead. Inside, it’s usually humming with the sound of people talking and the occasional cart rolling by. We don't have those fancy receptionists who sound like robots; we just talk to you like normal people. The building itself is sturdy and has been here through many seasons. We have different floors for different things, and sometimes finding the right room takes a minute if you’re new. The nurses are always busy running around with files. We aren’t trying to be a five-star hotel. We are just a hospital where the focus is on getting patients seen. Pramukh Vatika is a nice spot because it’s easy for folks to find. Even if you get lost, just look for the temple spires and you’re basically there. We keep the benches in the waiting area clean, though they fill up fast on Monday mornings. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes, but we make it work. Most days are long, but seeing someone walk out feeling better makes it alright. We just keep doing our thing every day.
