After a successful year of providing services to the elderly community, Esperanza Health Centers celebrated its first anniversary of Panorama PACE, its Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. “Panorama PACE has already become a cornerstone for senior care on the southwest side,” said Ryan Gadia, CFO and interim CEO of Esperanza Health Centers. “In just one year, we’ve seen the real difference this program can make in the lives of older adults and their families. This celebration is both a thank-you to our supporters and a recommitment to the mission ahead.” The celebration, held at the Brighton Park South Center, gathered partners, donors, and elected officials to reflect on Panorama’s impact over the past year and to look ahead of the work that still needs to be done. “We know that aging at home is what most people want,” said Jennifer Weiss, Vice President of PACE. “Panorama makes that possible. And this anniversary is a moment to honor what we’ve achieved—and to invite others to join us in what comes next.” Since its launch in July 2024, Panorama PACE has provided comprehensive, wraparound care for older adults eligible for nursing home-level care but wishing to remain in their homes. Services offered at the Panorama PACE center include primary care, physical and occupational therapies, transportation, social services, meals, and activities—all under one roof.
