What We Do

Key Community Initiatives

ScanO AI Oral Health Screening Initiative

#LoveOurSeniors Community Outreach Programme

Caring for Seniors Beyond Healthcare

We believe community care extends beyond healthcare services and into meaningful human connection. As part of our outreach efforts, Nuffield team members participated in the #LoveOurSeniors Essential Care Pack initiative as part of CapitaLand’s annual giving community campaign, #GivingAsOne in 2025, supporting elderly residents through the distribution of care packs and direct engagement within the community.

Our volunteers visited seniors in residential neighbourhoods, delivering essential items while spending time with elderly residents. The programme aimed to promote social connection, encourage community inclusion, and bring warmth and support to seniors who may have limited social interaction. Beyond distributing care packages, it gave our employees an opportunity to better understand the challenges faced by older members of our community and to contribute meaningfully through volunteer service.

Community impact:

  • 1. Elderly community support
  • 2. Employee volunteerism
  • 3. Care pack distribution
  • 4. Social inclusion & community engagement
  • 5. Supporting active ageing
  • 6. Building meaningful community connections
