Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care

The Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a residential community for senior citizens. It came about when Dr. Joseph Wong witnessed the lack of emotional support and difficulty in communicating for Chinese seniors within mainstream medical facilities. In 1987, Dr. Wong, spearheading the cause, gathered a group of thirty Chinese Canadian friends who shared his vision of building a nursing home to care for parents and grandparents with respect and dignity in their last years.

Yee Hong Community Wellness Foundation hosts the annual Dragon Ball Gala, one of Toronto's largest gala dinners to raise money for the centre.
