Members and Participants Talk About PACE

PACE is a special program that has the potential to greatly reduce the health inequity in our rural communities. This is how health care should work.

The PACE program is excellent. Any time anyone needs help, they are there, and the staff is so friendly and caring. Oh, don't forget the food, so good. My counselor was also by my side during my grieving, and I am so grateful.
