MassPACE

This week we are at The Mayflower in Washington, DC as part of the @TweetNPA 2026 Spring Policy Forum. We are were lucky to have heard from Dr. Oz, CMS Administrator as well as Gary Bacher, the acting head of CMMI. Tomorrow we hit the Hill!

🎉 Each year, MassPACE honors a PACE employee who goes above and beyond for our participants with the Phyllis Solomon Award. This year’s winner is Kathy Russell! 🎉 Kathy is an Activities Specialist at @ElementCare PACE!

⭐️🎉 At our Annual Meeting, we take time to recognize those who help us advance and support our legislative goals. This year, we honored Senator Robyn Kennedy and Julianna Fernandez, Research Director, Office of Representative Thomas M. Stanley, as our State Champions. ⭐️🎉

Thank you to all who attended this year’s Annual Meeting! We had a record number of attendees and grew into a new location! The day was filled with updates from our various PACE organizations and awards for our legislative champions, and a spotlight on Kathy Russell @ElementCare.

Massachusetts isn’t just the best place to grow up — we’re making it the best place to grow old, too. Thanks to @fallon_health and @MassHealth's PACE model, older adults in Southeastern Mass will get the care they need while aging in place with dignity and peace of mind.

Thank you to our Lunch and Awards sponsors for their participation and support in this year's Annual Meeting. More pictures and updates from the Annual Meeting to come!

Our 2025 Annual Meeting is finally here! Thank you to our full meeting sponsors and exhibitors!

Thank you to @McKesson for sponsoring our inaugural Summer Series! We were able to bring some of the presentations from our National PACE Conference, our affiliates, as well as some of our PACE orgs, to our PACE organizations here in Massachusetts.

Yesterday, CHA and our Revere Care Center welcomed @massgovernor, @senwarren and @senmarkey, and other state and local leaders for a press conference to urge Congress to protect Medicaid and reject harmful proposed cuts.

Thank you to the @AgingLifeCare for having us at their annual conference. Always great to hear about how people are loving PACE in Massachusetts and beyond!

After 30+ years of serving older adults, we’re ready to take our place in state statute! Thank you to Rep. @adrianmadaro and Sen. Robyn Kennedy for filing An Act Establishing the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (SD1729/HD2969).

Aging is a part of life and how we talk about it is important. Older adults deserve to feel reflected in and respected by the agencies that serve them.   Today, I was proud to sign a bill that officially changes the name of the Executive Office of Elder Affairs to the Executive Office of Aging and Independence.
