Dr. Joseph Y. K. Wong – Community

What began in 1987 as the dream of 30 friends led by Dr. Joseph Y. K. Wong, has incredibly materialized into the establishment of the Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care. Today, four centres (one in Markham, one in Mississauga and two in Scarborough) are devoted to the culturally appropriate care and support of senior citizens across the Greater Toronto Area.

 

The unwavering dedication to provide a continuum of care – designed to offer services to seniors of various cultural backgrounds, at different stages of their lives – is the driving force behind the staff and supporters of Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care. Dr. Wong was instrumental in establishing the Yee Hong Wellness Foundation to raise the necessary funds to operate and maintain the highest standards of excellence for which Yee Hong Centres are known. The Foundation offers annual events such as the Dragon Ball, one of Toronto's most glamorous galas as well as the TVB Fairchild All-Star Charity Show and Telethon.

 

Among his many community and charitable activities, Dr. Wong has served as the Chair of the United Way of Greater Toronto. Recognized for his humanitarian work, not only for the Chinese Community, but also for Canadians across the GTA, Dr. Wong has received the City of Toronto's highest honour, the Award of Merit, in 1986; and the Order of Canada in 1993.
