The Future of Aging: How PACE Is Redefining Healthcare

What if healthcare treated the whole person, not just the diagnosis?

Join Samuel Merritt University (SMU) for the next Transforming Care Symposium as we explore the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) offered by Asian Health Services (AHS). PACE is an innovative model that’s helping older adults remain healthy, independent, and connected to their communities.

Hear from healthcare leaders and practitioners who are redefining what coordinated, compassionate care can look like and discover how interdisciplinary teams are transforming the future of aging.

Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, a healthcare professional looking for fresh perspectives, or simply interested in the future of healthcare, this conversation offers valuable insight into one of the fastest-growing areas of care.
