"I don’t feel on top of my game every single day, but knowing that you have that security of somebody to turn to, you can continue with life independently because there’s always that back-up" of PACE.

As Sister Maryanna Euring focuses on taking care of others, the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), run by CenterLight Healthcare inside the Motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Dominic Convent on Long Island, takes care of her.

Particularly, a lack of confidence in the data they collect and how to turn it into actionable care."

The solution isn't about creating more referral pathways, but about building the measurement infrastructure that enables excellent primary care providers to act confidently on their observations.
