What about the PACE program is most exciting to you?
“PACE uses a proven model to care for frail populations, not just to meet medical needs, but to take away the strain of coordinating and ensuring continuity of specialists. PACE’s ability to ensure a smooth experience when navigating the complexities of older adult healthcare can make it a true blessing for participants and their families.”
Dr. Jerry Wilborn
Chief Medical Officer (CMO)
With 25 years of experience in the post-acute care industry, Dr. Wilborn will work alongside OSC’s medical directors to drive our clinical strategy and strong outcomes for our participants.
What about the PACE program is most exciting to you?
“The PACE program’s interdisciplinary approach is what makes it stand out as the gold standard of care. PACE involves so many healthcare professionals – from a primary care physician to a physical therapist – working together to achieve the best outcomes for our participants.”
