Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve as the standard bearer in meeting the concerns of elders in South Norfolk County by planning, promoting and coordinating an integrated system of health and social services in order to encourage a better, stronger and more self-reliant community. We are dedicated to helping older persons lead independent and purposeful lives, and we provide a comprehensive array of services, programs and opportunities which foster that commitment.
Description
HESSCO Elder Services (Health and Social Services Consortium), was incorporaated in June, 1985 as a model consortium of four human service agencies whose intention was to provide a single point of entry for any elder in our service area who had a health or social service need. We were originally incorporated in 1977 as King Philip Elder Services, a not-for-profit organization. For the last 20 years, we have been the key elder service agency in South Norfolk County and we have earned a reputation as the provider of quality, consumer-focused services.
