🩺 Medical Director – PACE Program | West Springfield, Massachusetts

We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Medical Director to lead a dynamic PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) team in West Springfield, Massachusetts. This is a full-time leadership opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of seniors with chronic care needs while supporting their independence and dignity.

🏥 About the Organization

Trinity Health PACE provides comprehensive, community-based care for seniors through the nationally recognized Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model.

Mercy LIFE Massachusetts is dedicated to serving adults 55+ who qualify for nursing home-level care but prefer to remain safely in their homes and communities.

PACE focuses on delivering the entire continuum of care — medical, social, emotional, and supportive services — all coordinated by an interdisciplinary team.
