SCAN Group's myPlace Health, an organization that delivers care through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model, has expanded its integrated senior care model to South L.A. with its second PACE center in Compton!
We were proud and grateful to have the incredible support of the community and local officials, including Mayor Emma Sharif and Assemblymember Mike Gipson, who shared their thoughts on what this means for the community:
“I’m proud to welcome myPlace Health to our community and celebrate its commitment to serving seniors with dignity and care,” said Emma Sharif, Mayor of Compton. “This new center will make a meaningful difference by providing comprehensive, life-enhancing services right here in Compton.”
“On behalf of half a million people in California’s 65th Assembly District I have the privilege of representing, we extend our warm welcome to the myPlace Health team as it opens its newest PACE center in the heart of Compton,” said Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson (D-Carson). “Whenever organizations like SCAN Group take an interest in improving health access for our communities, I know that the effect is profound: seniors are empowered to thrive, jobs are created, and people understand that we have a bright future in partnership with community organizations of all kinds. I’m happy to see this exciting day for older adults, and for everyone in South LA.”
SCAN CEO Dr. Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA also added: “myPlace’s expansion reflects SCAN’s deep commitment to drastically improve care that keeps seniors healthy and independent, especially in historically underserved communities. We believe the PACE model is the future of senior care: accessible, integrated, person-centered, and rooted in the community.”
myPlaceHealth CEO Robbie Pottharst expressed his gratitude and reaffirmed myPlace Health's commitment to the community and its older adults, saying: “We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve communities across South Los Angeles, where too many older adults in need have long lacked access to the care they deserve. We’re proud to stand alongside South LA’s older adults, their families, and community-based organizations as a trusted partner that supports independence, honors dignity, and helps people thrive in the communities they love and the homes they cherish.”
