As PACE President, you will have the opportunity to influence every aspect of that experience. You will lead an organization where strong operations, thoughtful growth, and regulatory excellence directly support a meaningful purpose: helping frail older adults live safely, independently, and with dignity. If you are a strategic, people-centered healthcare executive who can connect mission with measurable results, we invite you to apply.
