Health Advocates for Older People

Health Advocates for Older People, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) organization was originally founded in 1985 by a coalition of individuals and non-profit agencies to promote healthy aging. During its first five years it was involved in the establishment of clinics in the Bronx to provide preventive health care and promote wellness. In 1993 Health Advocates became aware of the increasing need for housing with supportive services for the growing aging population and developed Carnegie East House, a 104-unit non-profit assisted residence which was transitioned in 2007 to another non-profit organization. This allowed Health Advocates to return to its original focus on programs and services for a broader and more diverse, increasingly frail elderly population.

The mission of Health Advocates for Older People, Inc. is to promote healthy aging and provide for the growing frail elderly population of New York City, as well as their family members, caregivers and concerned others, with the tools, techniques and support needed to age with vitality and independence in the city they love.
