We created vanguard Medical Group as a regional primary group practice in January 2012 through a merger of three established, well-known and successful primary care practices in northern New Jersey (Changebridge Medical Associates, Cranford Family Practice and Town Medical Associates). In 2014, two additional practice sites, at North Haledon (formerly High Mountain Health) and Lincoln Park, joined Vanguard. Many of the founding physicians have practiced for over 20 years in their respective communities and are leaders in their local healthcare delivery systems. The driving force to develop a larger regional primary care practice was the recognition that the healthcare system was rapidly changing in ways that did not support small or solo independent physician practices. And yet, although growth is an imperative, the physicians in Vanguard believe that a strong culture guided by a shared vision and governed by shared values must be at the core of this new organization. Vanguard physicians have been at the forefront of primary care in New Jersey, and our staff includes past presidents of the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians, residency directors, family practice department chairpersons at our hospitals and faculty of our New Jersey medical schools. In the future, we intend to continue to expand our primary care base, while also complementary services including specialty care.

A patient’s kind words about Dr. Anjali Sivendra from our Jersey City downtown location. “Dr. Sivendra was on-call Saturday when I called the emergency line to speak to someone regarding my 6 year old. She was knowledgeable, kind, thorough and calmed my nerves in a time of worry. We scheduled a virtual call a few days later and again she answered my questions, helping me feel confident. We look forward to working with her in the future, whether at a routine visit or with an unexpected illness. Thank you! ”

Hot flashes. Mood swings. Brain fog. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Hormones can dramatically affect your sleep—from your cycle and pregnancy to perimenopause and menopause. It’s one of the most common (but least talked about) causes of sleep disruption in women. Add stress, caregiving, and the mental load... no wonder you're tossing and turning. The good news? Small shifts in your sleep routine, with some help from a medical provider experienced in women’s health and sleep issues, can make a big difference.

Let’s talk sleep, hormones, and how to feel more like you again:

For many of our homebound patients at Vanguard Medical Group, especially those cared for through our Homecare Department, Thanksgiving can feel like just another day. Some don’t have the energy to prepare a meal, and others may not have loved ones nearby to share the holiday with.

That’s why our incredible Homecare team steps in — delivering not just Thanksgiving meals, but love, warmth, and a sense of community to some of our most vulnerable patients.

This year, they prepared and delivered meals on Thanksgiving morning. We’re so grateful for their compassion and dedication!
