As CMS interest in maintaining consumers in the community and in value-based models increases, so does the interest in PACE programs. The model – a capitated model for providing medical and long-term care services for dually-eligible consumers living in the community – was first piloted in 1971. There are now 202 PACE programs serving more than 95,500 participants in 33 states and the District of Columbia – 20% of which are for-profit models. To learn more about future opportunities with PACE programs, Paul Soczynski, Senior Vice President, Healthcare at Volunteers of America National Services (VOANS), will open the 2026 institute with an executive update on the current role of PACE and the proposed plans for expanding PACE in the future. In addition to overseeing seven PACE Organizations operated by VOANS, Mr. Soczynski serves as a board member of the National PACE Association, bringing both policy and operational perspectives on the emerging market for PACE program services.
