About Senior Health Alliance
Building a Portland where every senior feels valued, connected, and supported.
Our Story
Senior Health Alliance was founded on a simple but powerful belief: no older adult in Portland should face their later years feeling isolated or alone. In a community known for its warmth and connection, we recognized that too many seniors were experiencing the silent struggle of loneliness.
What started as a small group of volunteers making companion visits has grown into a comprehensive support network serving seniors across Greater Portland and surrounding communities. We’ve learned that combating isolation isn’t just about providing services—it’s about creating genuine relationships, fostering meaningful connections, and building a community that values its elders.
Today, Senior Health Alliance stands as Portland’s trusted partner in senior well-being, bringing together volunteers, families, community organizations, and seniors themselves to create a more connected, compassionate community for all.
