PACE Vermont, Inc. was incorporated as a Vermont domestic non-profit corporation in December 2003, and opened for business in 2007.

PACE Vermont is supported by On Lok, the pioneer in PACE and a not-for-profit serving seniors through a comprehensive health plan, senior center, intergenerational program, and housing; and Volunteers of America, a national no-profit providing human services in 44 states serving over 2 million at-risk and vulnerable persons per year. 

PACE Vermont is proud to provide the first PACE program to operate in a rural setting.  The PACE model was developed by On Lok in San Francisco in 1973.  There are now 77 PACE programs in 31 states.  Please visit the National PACE Association for a complete timeline. 

National PACE Research results show that: 

·         PACE provides better health outcomes than other traditional care for seniors with chronic care needs;

·         The staff serving these individuals are more satisfied working in a PACE environment;

·         PACE is an effective use of taxpayer dollars. 

Local PACE Vermont Research results show that PACE participants experience a decrease in the number of Emergency Room visits and hospitalizations.  Please see our NEWS page for a summary of this study. 

Research on the PACE model continues.
