Today marks the end of National PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) Month, a special time to celebrate the profound impact PACE has on the lives of our participants and their families. Throughout the month, Upham's PACE hosted several exciting events, including visits from Emily Shea (Boston's Age Strong Commissioner), Tuft's musical group Public Harmony, and the Disco group LadyBos. In addition, we are proud to announce that PACE received a proclamation from Governor Healey and Lt. Governor Driscoll declaring September 2024 to be PACE month across Massachusetts! Thank you to all who make PACE a place where our participants feel valued, cared for, and at home.

Jagdeep Trivedi (Jay), CEO of Uphams Community Care, was a latch key kid raised in Medford, MA. His parents emigrated from India in 1973 with only $8 to their name, but they worked hard to secure jobs in the medical field in to support their three sons. Inspired by his Mom & Dad, Jay wanted to pursue a career in Neurology, but since his grades didn't cut, he had to take a different path. Today, Jay Trivedi, is only the second CEO in the 53 year history of Upham's Community Care. How did he get there? It wasn't easy...
