Keeping Up the PACE in Ohio

In Episode 11 of Another Word for Living, LeadingAge Ohio President & CEO Susan Wallace talks with Marcie Campbell of Buckeye PACE about the innovative Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). Listen to the episode here.

Campbell’s enthusiasm is unmistakable as she describes how PACE works, who it serves, and why it matters to the people and families who rely on it. She shares stories that capture the close, human connections at the heart of the model—illustrating how care becomes personal and deeply relational.

For providers, policymakers, and advocates in Ohio’s aging services sector, the episode underscores an important message: programs like PACE are not merely alternatives. They can be central to a future where older adults receive care without losing independence, choice, or respect.
