National PACE Association Presents Leadership Awards To Carper, Blumenauer, Cassidy, Wenstrup and Herbst
WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 12, 2024 – At its Spring Policy Forum in Washington, DC this week, the National PACE Association presented a series of leadership awards to elected officials and leaders who have helped to expand the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
Two inaugural Lifetime Achievement Awards, which recognize notable federal officials who have demonstrated visionary leadership and extraordinary dedication to the success of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly throughout their careers, were presented:
- U.S. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware (D-DE).
- U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon (D-OR3)
Public Service Awards, which are given to state and federal officials instrumental in advancing the efforts of PACE were also presented:
- U.S Senator Bill Cassidy, MD of Louisiana (R-LA)
- U.S. Representative Brad Wenstrup DPM of Ohio (R-OH2)
- Adam Herbst, Deputy Commissioner, New York State Department of Health
PACE program leaders from across the country participated in the two-day forum, during which they visited the offices of Members of Congress and Senators with three key asks:
- Co-sponsor the PACE Part D Choice Act, which would put PACE enrollees on a level playing field with other Medicare beneficiaries with respect to prescription costs
- Support the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act
- Visit a PACE program in their cities and states
“We are proud to honor these individuals who work tirelessly to give more Americans access to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, which allows elderly to age in place, in their own homes, fully cared for with all of their healthcare needs met by an interdisciplinary team,” said Shawn Bloom, President and CEO of the National PACE Association.
