The mission of WH SeniorLink is to strengthen community ties and improve health outcomes among older New Yorkers by providing social-emotional support and connection to essential services WH SeniorLink combines a collaborative helping model with an emphasis on mutual aid and empowerment. We offer a volunteer matching program, a peer matching program, and case management services. We were faced by older adults including greater risk of social isolation and increased disconnection from essential services. However, we recognize that the pandemic has only exacerbated a problem that began long before and older adults are at risk of being left behind in the coming months and beyond. We are committed to providing high-quality services into the future. Currently we serve 50+ older adults me New York City, utilizing an extensive network of volunteers and dedicated staff from multiple disciplines.
