Element Care, a leading Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) and managed care provider for Senior Care Options (SCO), is celebrating 30 years of providing compassionate, comprehensive care to older adults across Massachusetts at its Healthcare from the Heart Gala. Being hosted at The Seaport Hotel on October 23rd, the gala will include notable sponsors and guest speakers including Secretary of Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging and Independence, Robin Lipson, Eastern Bank Foundation, Cummings Foundation, Lynn Community Health Center, Greater Lynn Senior Services and more.

The Healthcare from the Heart Gala, being emceed by award-winning WCVB Anchor and Reporter Jessica Brown, will bring together partners and sponsors who have graciously supported Element Care’s mission of helping older adults in Massachusetts live safely and comfortably in their homes and communities for as long as possible. The night will begin with remarks from Robin Lipson and Element Care CEO, Doug Thompson - welcoming guests with inspiring anecdotes on how Element Care’s three decades of serving participants and their families with compassionate, quality care is possible through its dedicated staff and partners.

"Healthcare from the Heart is more than the name of this gala; it’s the spirit behind Element Care’s PACE and SCO teams, our partners, and the families who entrust us with their loved ones. I’m profoundly grateful to everyone who made this milestone possible - and energized for the next thirty years of impact,” said Douglas Thompson, CEO, Element Care.

Element Care will present the Founder’s Award to Beth Babcock, an award for those whose contributions have made a lasting impact on the organization. Beth is a globally renowned strategist, recognized for her ability to lead organizations through their next breakthrough and creating numerous award-winning programs for public good including Element Care, Hearth, El Sistema USA, Mobility Mentoring, and EMPath/Economic Mobility Exchange. Her leadership, guidance, and relentless support pioneered Element Care’s PACE program that began in Lynn, Massachusetts and expanded across Essex, Middlesex, and parts of Suffolk and Norfolk County.

The Senior Impact Award will be presented to Alan Solomont, former U.S. Ambassador to Spain and Andorra for his decades of leadership in health and eldercare, higher education, philanthropy and civic life, for his contributions to senior healthcare and for his support of Element Care’s mission. Alan’s impact has helped shape the lives of older adults with his network of eldercare services, the ADS Group, that offered skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, assisted living, and home care to seniors and their families throughout southern New England.
