Dr. Mehmet Oz, chief of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, visited a senior care facility in San Francisco's Mission District, praising its inclusive approach to elder care. On Lok's Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) enables seniors to maintain their independence while receiving essential medical and social services. Despite the Trump administration's cuts to healthcare, Oz's positive remarks highlight the value of compassionate care. He also addressed the challenges of substance abuse in the Tenderloin, acknowledging the work of local clinics in providing support to vulnerable populations.
What I witnessed here is a true miracle...they take you into a community that's all-inclusive.
What they're really doing is giving you agency over your future.
I saw people who were fallen, and they're having trouble getting back up...That is immensely helpful, not just on a humanitarian level.
There's a federally qualified health clinic there that is taking them in and helping them.
