PACE North

What PACE North does

PACE North is a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization operating the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) for chronically ill adults aged 55 and older in northern Michigan. Founded in 2019 and headquartered at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg PACE Center in Traverse City, the organization delivers a fully integrated care model in which an Interdisciplinary Team — comprising a physician, registered nurse, social worker, therapists, dietitian, and other specialists — develops individualized care plans addressing medical, social, dietary, and supportive needs. Services are centered on a Day Center facility and supplemented by in-home care, with door-to-door transportation provided to all participants.

The product surface includes primary medical care, prescription drug coverage with no co-pay, occupational/physical/speech/recreational therapy, home health and personal care, emergency and hospital care coordination, caregiver respite, and adult day programming. PACE North contracts with an external network of specialists for services beyond its internal team. Underlying technology is a capitated managed-care platform: PACE North receives a fixed monthly payment per participant drawn from combined Medicare and Medicaid funding, with more than 90% of participants dual-eligible and paying nothing out of pocket. Long-term care insurance and private pay are accepted for non-qualifying individuals.

Go-to-market is community-led and referral-driven, relying on healthcare provider referrals, family and caregiver word-of-mouth, a Community Outreach Director, and the pacenorth.org website as primary acquisition channels. The organization serves seven counties — Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Wexford, plus partial coverage in Antrim and Manistee — and employs 11-50 staff. In May 2026, PACE North and One Senior Care submitted plans to partner, signaling potential consolidation or service-expansion activity pending regulatory approval.

Direct peers

• PACE Southeast Michigan: Operates PACE programs for dual-eligible seniors across Southeast Michigan under the same Medicare/Medicaid capitated model. Closest functional peer because it operates the identical PACE model in the same state with the same regulatory framework.
• InnovAge Holding Corp. Largest U.S. operator of PACE programs, publicly traded (INNV), serving seniors across multiple states with the same capitated, interdisciplinary care model. Comparable because it runs the same PACE product, although at much larger scale and across broader geographies.
• LifeCircles PACE: Michigan-based PACE program serving older adults in western Michigan with the same all-inclusive care model, interdisciplinary team approach, and Medicare/Medicaid funding structure as PACE North.
• PACE of Southwest Michigan: A Michigan PACE provider offering the identical Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly to dual-eligible seniors in southwest Michigan counties. Operates under the same state and federal regulatory framework.
• One Senior Care: PACE operator that submitted a partnership plan with PACE North in May 2026. Directly comparable as another PACE provider running the same capitated, interdisciplinary care model for elderly participants.
• Huron Valley PACE: Michigan PACE program serving Washtenaw and western Wayne counties with the same all-inclusive care model for dual-eligible seniors aged 55+. Operates under identical regulatory and reimbursement structure.
• Trinity Health PACE: A nonprofit PACE operator affiliated with Trinity Health, running multiple PACE centers across several states. Comparable because it offers the identical PACE product but is backed by a large health system with greater capital and operational scale.
• Centers Plan for Healthy Living: Operates MLTC, MAP, and PACE plans serving dual-eligible seniors in New York. Comparable in that it delivers capitated, integrated care to the same target population, though focused on a different state.

Broad incumbents

• Ascension Living PACE: A division of Ascension Health that operates PACE programs in several states as part of a broader senior services portfolio. Overlaps in the PACE model but operates within a much larger hospital and senior care system.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Public company providing home and community-based services including PACE pharmacy and clinical support. Comparable as an adjacent provider serving the dual-eligible senior population through capitated and value-based care models.
