Program outcomes underscore value of coordinated community-based care for older adults
LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — myPlace Health (myPlace), a SCAN Group organization delivering care through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model, announced today that it has surpassed 300 participants across its two PACE centers in Downtown Los Angeles and South Los Angeles. This milestone positions myPlace as one of the fastest growing PACE organizations in California on a per-center basis.
This achievement, reached just two years after myPlace began serving the region, highlights the growing need for integrated, value-based care that helps older adults remain healthy and independent while remaining in their communities.
“Reaching 300 participants in just two years underscores the increasing need for comprehensive, coordinated care models that support older adults in their communities,” said Senthu Arumugam, interim CEO of myPlace Health. “As Los Angeles’ aging population grows, myPlace is playing an important role in improving health outcomes and enhancing quality of life for older adults.”
Based on an internal analysis, myPlace Health’s performance data from its first two years of operations shows strong results relative to national PACE benchmarks for medically complex older adults. According to myPlace’s findings, outcomes indicate:
• Hospital admission rates are 52% below national PACE benchmark levels
• Emergency department utilization is 33% below benchmark levels
• Participant disenrollment rates below national averages
The results suggest that myPlace’s coordinated, interdisciplinary care model may help reduce avoidable acute care utilization while supporting participant engagement and continuity of care.
“These early outcomes show what’s possible when older adults with complex health needs receive proactive, highly coordinated care,” said Dr. Robert Schreiber, vice president and national medical director at myPlace Health. “Seeing hospital admissions and emergency department utilization come in well below national PACE benchmarks suggests our care model is helping participants stay healthier and avoid unnecessary acute care while supporting greater continuity of care, independence, and quality of life.”
