AND THE AWARD GOES TO

Patron Award 2022

MARY ANN TSAO, CHAIRPERSON AND FOUNDING DIRECTOR OF THE TSAO FOUNDATION

Established in 1993 by Tsao Ng Yu Shun, who was 86 years old at the time, Tsao Foundation champions the needs of seniors and their caregivers through community-based eldercare, training and education, policy-relevant research, collaboration and advocacy.

At the helm of the non-profit organisation since its beginning is Mrs Tsao's granddaughter, Mary Ann Tsao, who has, in the last three decades, driven mindset and systemic change in the ageing experiences of older people in Singapore. To date, the Tsao Foundation has launched community-based, interdisciplinary medical and psychosocial healthcare facility Hua Mei Centre for Successful Ageing; Hua Mei Training Academy specialising in eldercare; Internal Longevity Centre (ILC) Singapore for community development programmes, research and collaborations; and Community for Successful Ageing (ComSA), which boasts an integrated care system that improves the quality of life of seniors in the interconnected areas of health, personal empowerment, social participation and well-being.

In recognition of her contributions, the Prime Minister's Office awarded Mary Ann with several Public Service Medal and Public Service Star awards. Most recently, she was one of 50 world leaders credited by the United Nations for transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.

"I'd like to think that we can make some difference in how we think about ageing and longevity," said Mary Ann at the Prestige Anew Ball 2022. "There are times when I feel very discouraged, like we haven't done a lot. But next year is our 30th anniversary; that's how long I've been here. And we've been thinking about 'Anew', about how our way forward is. This is a very nice acknowledgement and encouragement to keep moving forward."
