Famed radio host Bernard Meltzer once said, “There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.”  This is my life’s mission and purpose. The InnovAge PACE model is that “lifting” that we give to so many participants.  It is a blessing and an honor to serve such a deserving population.   Read More

Mark Learned, MD

I saw my mother care for her mother for more than 15 years after a traumatic brain injury, and I watched my father care for his mother as she declined from dementia. They were clearly labors of love – and Herculean labors in their own right. Spending my career at a place that tries to help seniors and families get the help they need is a tremendous honor.  Read More

InnovAge provides precisely the array of services and support that seniors need to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. Speaking as both a social worker and a healthcare executive who has worked with seniors since 2000, I am proud to be part of an organization that responds so creatively and robustly to this great and growing need in the communities we serve.
