Providing Comprehensive Healthcare for Seniors
As a highly trusted healthcare organization, AltaMed PACE is committed to celebrating National PACE Month and ensuring the well-being of seniors during the ongoing pandemic. Our mission is to provide comprehensive medical care to eligible seniors, helping them maintain their health and enjoy a high quality of life. At Muir Diablo Occupational Medicine, we prioritize the health and safety of our elderly community members in every aspect of our practice.
National PACE Month: Recognizing the Importance of Elderly Care
Each September, National PACE Month serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the significance of Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). PACE programs aim to deliver comprehensive healthcare services that promote independence, dignity, and quality of life for seniors who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid in the United States.
AltaMed PACE recognizes the vital role PACE plays in supporting the aging population, and we are proud to celebrate this notable month by highlighting our commitment to providing exceptional care during these challenging times.
