CenterLight Healthcare

What CenterLight Healthcare does

CenterLight Healthcare is a New York-based not-for-profit organization that operates the largest Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in the United States, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Flushing, NY. The company delivers coordinated medical, social, therapeutic, and nutritional care to adults aged 55 and older through 11 PACE centers and one owned alternative care setting across eight New York counties (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau, Western Suffolk, and Westchester). A network of more than 4,000 contracted providers supplements the on-site services delivered at PACE centers, and the organization supports culturally-sensitive, multilingual care (English, Spanish, Bengali, and Chinese).

The business model is built on capitated Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement: enrolled participants assign CenterLight as their sole service provider, and the organization receives per-member-per-month payments covering the full continuum of care. This structure transfers utilization risk to CenterLight in exchange for predictable, recurring revenue. Supporting operations include a Provider Portal for network clinicians, dedicated participant and caregiver service lines, an appeals and grievances function, and a marketing organization that recently won a Bronze Stevie Award for a PACE-focused campaign. The December 2025 strategic partnership with Stellar Health signals an intent to enhance provider engagement through an incentive-based platform layered on top of the existing delivery network.

As a not-for-profit, CenterLight is not PE- or VC-backed; its governance sits under an approved PACE contract with CMS and the NY State Department of Health, with contract renewal as an ongoing operating dependency. The philanthropic arm, CenterLight Impact Fund, raises gifts and grants to supplement programmatic funding. The organization is actively operating with 501–1,000 employees and no public financial disclosures are available in the source data.

Direct peers

• InnovAge Holding Corp. One of the largest PACE providers in the United States, operating multiple PACE centers across several states with a capitated care model for dual-eligible seniors. Directly comparable as a multi-center PACE operator serving the same 55+ dual-eligible population.
• WelbeHealth: Multi-state PACE operator providing comprehensive medical, social, and behavioral care to seniors through the PACE model. Highly comparable as a scaling PACE organization competing for similar capitated contracts and demographics.
• ConcertoCare: Tech-enabled PACE and home-based care provider operating PACE centers in multiple states for frail seniors. Directly comparable PACE operator with similar capitated, interdisciplinary-team-driven care model.
• Trinity Health PACE: National Catholic health system's PACE program operating multiple PACE centers across several states. Directly comparable as a multi-site, mission-driven PACE organization serving dual-eligible seniors.

Broad incumbents

• Humana CenterWell Senior Primary Care & PACE: Humana-owned senior care brand operating PACE centers alongside its larger Medicare Advantage and primary care footprint. Comparable as a PACE operator, though CenterWell's PACE activities sit inside a much broader managed-care and primary care portfolio.
• Ascension Living PACE: National Catholic health system's senior living division which includes PACE programs in select markets. Comparable PACE service offering, though nested within a large multi-state health system with broader senior services.
• Centene Corporation: Large managed care company with significant Medicaid and dual-eligible exposure that also administers PACE plans in select markets. Comparable as a capitated payer/provider for the dual-eligible population CenterLight serves, though operating at much larger scale across many lines of business.
• Amedisys, Inc. Large home health and hospice provider delivering in-home skilled and personal care services to elderly and chronically ill patients. Comparable as an operator serving aging populations with Medicare-reimbursed care, though centered on home health rather than the PACE day-center model.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Large diversified home and community-based services platform serving seniors and complex populations, including PACE-related pharmacy and provider services. Comparable as a scaled operator of community-based senior care services reimbursed by Medicare/Medicaid.

Regional players

• St. Paul's Senior Services PACE: San Diego-based not-for-profit PACE provider operating multiple centers for frail seniors in Southern California. Comparable as a regional not-for-profit PACE operator with a similar interdisciplinary-team care model, though focused on a different geography.
