Providers lay out challenges to PACE expansion


Modern Healthcare features WelbeHealth in a discussion on the challenges and opportunities of scaling PACE to serve 2 million eligible seniors. Dive into the regulatory hurdles and discover how organizations like WelbeHealth are positioned to expand access while maintaining high-quality care and better outcomes for older adults.

From Dr. Matt Patterson, President of WelbeHealth: 

“The biggest challenge to scaling PACE to 2 million eligible older adults is a regulatory environment that still has not made PACE available in all states, not allowed consumer choice of PACE providers in all locations where PACE is offered and not reduced the friction in new program approval processes. If federal and state regulations address these challenges, then organizations with the right operational capabilities and that prioritize quality, compliance, and workforce development are positioned to expand the reach of PACE while maintaining its track record of better outcomes for frail seniors at a lower taxpayer burden than alternatives. Regulations that better support PACE expansion could also be married with those that better hold PACE organizations to a high bar of quality outcomes to support a clear value proposition to taxpayers.”

Matt Patterson, MD: A Physician-Operator on “The Love Economy” and Authentic Leadership

At WelbeHealth, we’re committed to ensuring that every senior receives the compassionate care they deserve.

In a powerful discussion, our President, Dr. Matt Patterson, joins Dr. Reena Pande on her podcast to explore the concept of the “love economy” and how it drives our goal to deliver compassionate and high-quality care to vulnerable seniors daily.

During the conversation, Dr. Patterson reflects on his journey, sharing insights on how leading with love and empathy not only shapes WelbeHealth’s approach to senior care but also transforms the workplace culture. When employees feel seen, heard, and valued, they are inspired to extend that same compassion and dedication to the seniors we serve.

This love-first approach to leadership and care has allowed us to create a holistic, person-centered model that empowers vulnerable seniors to thrive independently. As Dr. Patterson and Dr. Pande highlight, it’s about creating an environment where both employees and participants feel supported, respected, and truly cared for.

Tune in to hear how the “love economy” influences our work at WelbeHealth and helps us build a healthier, more connected community for our seniors.
