The National PACE Association has proclaimed September as National PACE Month, an opportunity to celebrate the work of Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). This year's theme of "Many Hands, Many Minds, One Goal" highlights the central role of the PACE interdisciplinary team in improving the lives of participants and their family caregivers.
