For many of us within the healthcare industry, the greatest crisis looming before us is not the risk of infectious disease, but a rapidly aging and frail population. Over the next 40 years, the number of Americans 65 and older will double to 80 million. Over the same period, adults aged 85 and older, who are often in the most need of basic personal and clinical care, will nearly quadruple. As congregative retirement communities are hit hard by COVID-19, and the evidence builds for a whole-person care approach to medicine, the argument for Programs for All Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE) has never been stronger. John sits down with the founder and CEO of one of the fastest growing PACE companies in the US, Edenbridge Health, to discuss the program's many virtues and Edenbridge's unique PACE and PACE-Lite business models.
