Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care 

Board Director (Voluntary) 

Whether we were born in Canada or immigrated here from another country, we are all settlers 

on unceded Indigenous lands. Yee Hong gratefully acknowledges that they are located and 

operate on the unceded traditional lands of many nations, including the Haudenosaunee, 

Huron-Wendat, Anishnabeg, Seneca, Chippewa, and the current treaty holders Mississaugas of 

the Credit Peoples. 

Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care is one of Canada’s largest and most respected not-for-

profit organizations providing culturally appropriate, person-centred care for seniors. Since its 

founding in 1994, Yee Hong has delivered a full continuum of services to over 15,000 seniors 

annually across the Greater Toronto Area, from active seniors’ programs and home support to 

long-term care and palliative care. Rooted in a vision of enabling seniors to live their lives to the 

fullest, with independence, health and dignity, Yee Hong blends clinical excellence with cultural 

humility and innovation. With deep expertise serving Asian Canadian communities, including 

Chinese, Japanese, South Asian and Filipino seniors, Yee Hong continues to evolve as a leader 

in equitable, inclusive care that meets the diverse needs of Canada’s aging population. 

Yee Hong is currently inviting nominations and applications for the role of Board Director. This 

is an exciting opportunity for values-driven leaders to contribute to an award-winning 

organization entering a period of meaningful expansion, including the opening of its fifth long-

term care home in 2026. 

Director Responsibilities 

Board members contribute their leadership across three core areas of governance: 

1. Strategy - Shape and approve Yee Hong’s multi-year strategic plans; Guide major initiatives 

such as digital innovation, philanthropic growth, capital development (e.g., Finch II), and care 

model advancement; Strengthen partnerships and system integration to expand Yee Hong’s 

impact across the continuum of care; Support CEO oversight, performance evaluation, and 

succession planning. 

2. Culture - Champion Yee Hong’s values of caring, collaboration, and commitment in all 

Board deliberations; Promote culturally appropriate, person-centred, and spiritually attuned care 

that reflects the lived experiences of seniors and their families; Actively foster an inclusive 

governance culture that centres equity, diversity, reconciliation, and accessibility; Engage 

with stakeholders in a spirit of curiosity, humility, and service. 

3. Risk - Ensure fiduciary responsibility and long-term financial sustainability; Oversee 

enterprise risk management, including compliance, quality of care, workforce capacity, and 

infrastructure investment; Provide governance leadership on emerging risks tied to aging 

<a href="https://www.yeehong.com/" target="_blank">https://www.yeehong.com/</a>

demographics, workforce shortages, regulatory change, and capital expansion; Serve on at 

least one Board committee (e.g., Audit &amp; Risk, Governance &amp; Nominations, Strategy &amp; Quality). 

Qualifications 

Among the qualifications being sought in candidates, the incoming leader must have a deep and 

abiding commitment to advancing reconciliation, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in 

all its forms and must believe, intrinsically, in the importance of leading with curiosity and 

welcoming ideas that can later be synthesized and turned into possibility. While all candidates 

are encouraged to apply and, in so doing, share how they see themselves adding value to the 

Yee Hong environment, the following credentials and/or experiences are seen as possible 

markers of the candidates most likely to realize success in the role: 

 • A passion for enabling seniors to age with dignity, inclusion, and purpose across a full 

continuum of culturally appropriate care; 

 • Strong experience in government relations, public policy, or partnership 

development, especially within health, housing, or social services sectors, to help 

advance Yee Hong’s role as a system partner and sector leader; 

 • Lived or professional experience in aging, health care, senior services, or system 

integration; 

 • Expertise in any of the following: governance, finance, law, clinical quality, risk 

management, advocacy, digital innovation, or capital development; 

 • A collaborative leadership style rooted in cultural humility, curiosity, and a deep respect 

for equity, diversity, and inclusion. 

Time Commitment 

Board Directors serve a three-year term, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional 

terms. The Board meets six to nine times per year (2–3 hours per meeting), and members are 

expected to serve on at least one committee (quarterly meetings). Participation in an annual 

orientation and a full-day strategic retreat is required. Special meetings may be called as 

needed. 

How to Apply 

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are more than buzzwords at Yee Hong; they’re guiding 
lights. Since opening their doors in 1994, they have been dedicated to embedding the principles 
and spirit of EDI in everything they do by practicing three distinct values: caring, collaboration 
and commitment. They care by demonstrating compassion toward others, seeking to 
understand and support one another, respecting diversity, promoting inclusion, and encouraging 
individuals to live independently and make their own choices; they collaborate by working as a 
united team to pursue a shared vision, embrace opportunities for growth, address challenges, 
and make a meaningful impact on clients, staff, and the broader community, and; they commit 
to continuous learning, innovation, and improvement, while also championing equity and social 
justice, and empowering people to live as their authentic selves.
