PACE medical model of care program tour with Senator Bruce Tarr and State Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante

April 9, 2016 ~ Joey C

Hi Joey,

I just wanted to send you some pictures from today’s tour of the PACE medical model of care program with Senator Bruce Tarr and State Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante.  They both are going to lobby for the PACE at Element Care program and advocate for our seniors when the “Preserving Access to PACE Act” comes out at the State House next week.  We are very fortunate to have such caring legislators doing such good work for us!

I would encourage anyone who has medical needs or is a caregiver who is looking to keep their loved one home and out of a hospital or nursing home setting, to come to us at PACE in Gloucester to see if we can assist them.  We are a non-profit healthcare care organization who’s mission is to keep people living in the community safely and independently for as long as possible with our comprehensive healthcare services, all covered by MassHealth & Medicare, for those 55 and over.  If anyone would like more information or a tour, please call me at 978-283-7375.  We are located next to Pathways for Children, across the street from the Open Door.

Thanks Joey!
