What does it take to reimagine aging services in a complex health and social care system?

In this episode, Marta Corvêlo, President & Chief Executive Officer at Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services, talks about her journey into health and human services and her approach to transforming community-based aging support. She shares how her upbringing in Portugal and early work with refugee families shaped her commitment to social impact and equity. Marta explains the mission of SCES and how its home-based, wraparound services help older adults, people of all abilities, and caregivers age with independence and dignity. She also discusses operating at the intersection of health care, behavioral health, and social supports to better navigate the systems serving aging populations.
