PACE-RI To Relocate To East Providence

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — PACE-RI is moving its offices to East Providence.

The non-profit health plan for medically complex seniors announced it has purchased property at 10 Tripp Lane for its new center of operations and clinical hub. The property is about twice the size of its current space in Providence.

The company said it plans to open in June 2021 with an adult day center, state-of-the-art clinical facilities, expanded rehabilitation services and amenities for participants and staff. The additional space will be used for art, music and special programming.

The building will also have a commercial kitchen for PACE to provide meals tailored to its diverse participant population.

"PACE's participant census has grown by 22 percent over the past two years and demand for our services keeps increasing," said Joan Kwiatkowski, CEO. "This new building represents our organization's commitment to meeting that demand, providing alternatives to a nursing home, and to changing what successful aging looks like."

PACE-RI said it will move 100 jobs to East Providence and invest more than $4 million in the building.

"We are very pleased to welcome PACE-RI to East Providence," said Mayor Bob DaSilva. "They are part of a growing trend of major health care services companies choosing to invest in our city. We appreciate their efforts to keep our elderly residents healthy and well at home and look forward to further collaboration."

PACE-RI is conducting a capital campaign to support this project. Foundations, businesses, or individuals interested in sponsoring the effort can contact PACE-RI’s Chief of Marketing and Development Tom Boucher at tboucher@pace-ri.org for more information.
