Institute on Aging (IOA) is committed to expanding service offerings in caregiving, living with dementia, social isolation and loneliness through extraordinary experiences that join hearts and change lives. Every year, our programs touch the lives of more than 65,000 individuals and their circles of care, creating heart-to-heart connections that leave the world brighter, kinder, and more interconnected.
We invite you to join us on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at our Joining Hearts, Changing Lives gala to celebrate the connections Institute on Aging creates, and honor Dick Levy, whose leadership has helped shape health care and aging services in our community for decades. His commitment to innovation, excellence, and
compassionate care has made a lasting impact at Institute on Aging and across the region.
Through Dick’s early support of Institute on Aging’s Acute Care Transition (ACT) pilot, care managers are now embedded in San Francisco emergency departments, helping connect older adults to critical support and strengthening the link between clinical care and community services.
Special pricing is available for IOA Employees and their plus ones to attend the Gala. Click below to purchase your ticket today!
