Passion to Legacy
Passion has a way of shaping more than a career — it shapes the people around us and the legacy we leave behind. Keiro sat down with three community members whose passions continue to shape Our Community.

Farms to Families: The Kansha History Project
Much of Japanese American farming history does not appear in textbooks but is instead shared through family stories passed down from one generation to the next. Through documenting both Asian American and Japanese American farming and her own family’s history, Amanda Kim realized how much of that story was undocumented.

Passing the Torch
Keiro spoke with Helen Ota, 2026 Nisei Week Foundation president, and Sarah Fukui, 2027 Nisei Week Foundation co-president, about their journeys, the traditions they carry forward, and the legacy they hope to leave for those who follow.

From pharmacy intern at City View Hospital to administrator of Keiro Intermediate Care Facility and eventually leading the organization through its next chapter, Beverly Ito’s nearly 50-year career was defined by a deep commitment to the people and mission of Keiro.

Lifelong Learning for Our Community
Looking ahead, Keiro promises to be here for the generations to come — empowering Our Community to age with confidence, purpose, and connection. What began as senior residential care has grown into an organization that supports older adults, caregivers, and families throughout every stage of aging.
