💌 Spotlight Story
This month, we’re sharing a kind note from a participant’s family:
“My godfather was so happy when the PACE team sang Happy Birthday to him last Friday. He said it made him feel very cared for. He loves being part of the PACE program — it has helped him so much.”
Moments like these highlight what National PACE Month is all about — celebrating community, care, and connection.
