In an effort to maximize the use of resources and build communities to better prepare our future generations for aging, HKUST has formed strategic partnership with charitable organizations. Haven of Hope Christian Service (HOHCS) is one of the pioneering non-governmental philanthropic organizations in Hong Kong. Besides their long history of providing elderly care services such as hospital and nursing homes, HOHCS are continuously looking for new technology to serve the elderly and assist the community which is in line with the purpose of the Center for Aging Science. This partnership provides a means to achieve the goals of both sides by putting our needs, experience, expertise and aging research efforts into practice.
We have also collaborated with other community organizations and hospitals including Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital (Guangdong), Haven of Hope Hospital (HOHH), Hong Kong Christian Service (HKCS), Hong Kong Eye Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital, Queen Mary Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University Hospital (Zhongshan), The Hong Kong Council of Social Services (HKCSS), The Pakistan Association of Hong Kong and Wuhan Union Hospital (Wuhan).
We are confident our collaborations with community partners will help promote healthy aging and create broad space for future development.
