Policy & Community Engagement

Our strong voice continues to shape the landscape of healthcare, housing, and long-term supportive services for older adults.

Learn more about our advocacy

Fifty years ago, Marie-Louise Ansak and Dr. William Gee co-founded On Lok on the principles that accessible health care, supportive services, and housing were necessary for the frail elderly to avoid unnecessary institutionalization. Today, we continue to carry forward their mission, with innovative programs and policy advocacy to help all seniors stay healthy, active, and connected to their community.
