Show Notes

Dr. Victor Lee: Hi! I'm Dr. Victor Lee. I'm one of the physicians here at St. Paul's PACE. Uh, want to give you a little background of what we do here at St. Paul's. St. Paul's PACE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly . We've been running San Diego PACE for close to 12 years, a little over 12 years. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive PACE program.

Like senior home care, medical, nursing, therapy, transportation activities, social work, and things like that to support them living at home as long as they can. That's what we do. We are experts in geriatrics and senior care, and we hope to see you in our program. Thank you.

Karen Lappas: Hi, I'm Karen Lappas. Geriatric nurse practitioner at St. Paul's PACE. Families asked me all the time, what makes our PACE program for elderly so different? All of the providers here in St. Paul’s PACE have worked with older adults and seniors and helped manage their chronic conditions, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, chronic dementia.

All of us are well-versed in taking care of these challenging patients with challenging diagnosis and we thrive as a team together, working together to take care of these patients.

And we'd love to hear from you. So, come join us.

St. Paul's PACE has incorporated telehealth services. In addition to speaking to patient and families, we can also speak to the home care department when they're in your home. It can simply show us any changes that have happened on your condition. And then we can quickly treat you and better triage you and determine if we need to see you that day or the following day.

It also helps keep you safe by keeping you in your home. We can determine what care is needed.

Alisa Isumi: Hi, I'm Alisa with the Enrollments Department. PACE stands for Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly. And that is what we provide, all-inclusive care. So, if you are 55 or older, live in our service area and have chronic medical conditions, please give us a call today. We're here to help.
