Advocacy

OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS

We are committed to increasing awareness and access to the PACE programs in Massachusetts and beyond.

The MassPACE Association is committed to growing our “Grass Roots Army” of PACE participants (enrollees), passionate caregivers, direct care workers, and other PACE staff committed to increasing awareness and access to PACE. The group’s advocacy includes letter-writing campaigns, education and training about PACE to legislators and staff, encouraging legislators to co- sponsor and support our legislation, and providing testimony for hearings and policy initiatives at the legislative and administrative levels.
