Active Senior Program
The Active Senior Program provides a broad range of social, recreational and educational activities for seniors to enhance their physical, emotional and mental well-being and develop an active and healthy lifestyle. It is an integral part of Yee Hong’s commitment to providing a continuum of care that meets the changing needs of seniors living in the community.
A subgroup of the Active Senior Program, the Macrobian Club is a self-programming group for seniors under the sponsorship of Yee Hong. Established in 1991, the club organizes activities of various natures for members and operates a senior drop-in centre for members to meet friends, enjoy leisure pursuits and read newspapers and periodicals. An executive committee is elected bi-annually to manage the affairs of the club.
