Heart of Caring 2024
At Iona, we’re working to contribute to a society that ensures all people, no matter their race, gender, religion, politics, zip code, and abilities have the opportunity to age well. It’s a critical tenet for a just society. At our annual Heart of Caring luncheon, we learned how basketball hall-of-famer and former Laker Shaquille O’Neal feels about aging, we met Dennis and Kenneth from Iona’s Oasis Center (the only drop-in center in the District supporting older adults experiencing homelessness), and Mr. Rad and Carly as they partnered together to solve complex challenges. Thank you for being a part of the Iona community.
