InnovAge and Tampa General Hospital Celebrate Partnership of Senior Care in Grand Re-Opening
TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnovAge Holding Corp. ("InnovAge") (NASDAQ:INNV), a leader in senior care through the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly ("PACE"), and Tampa General Hospital ("TGH"), one of the nation's leading academic health systems, are celebrating a new joint venture that expands access to PACE in the Tampa Bay region. The partnership marks a significant step forward in bringing comprehensive, coordinated health care to frail seniors across Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando counties.
Since opening last year, InnovAge Florida PACE–Tampa has grown steadily, to meet the clear need for all-inclusive programs like PACE in Florida, which has one of the largest populations of seniors with complex needs in the nation. Through this partnership, InnovAge and TGH are expanding access to PACE's innovative, person-centered model of care that helps seniors live independently at home while accessing a full range of medical, social and in-home support — at little to no cost for those who are dual-eligible under Medicaid and Medicare. The partnership unites two mission‐driven organizations dedicated to helping older adults live healthier, more independent lives.
"Our integrated model brings peace of mind to participants and their families and reduces the burden on state and federal partners," said Patrick Blair, CEO of InnovAge. "Through our partnership with Tampa General Hospital, we're expanding access to the gold standard of coordinated, community‐based care, helping more seniors live with health, purpose and dignity."
"At TGH, we believe that every senior in our community deserves access to high-quality, compassionate care — regardless of their circumstances," stated John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General. "Our partnership with InnovAge reflects our continued work to break down barriers and bring comprehensive, coordinated health care directly to those who need it most. Together, we are committed to ensuring that our seniors receive the respect, dignity and care they deserve."
Today's celebration allowed InnovAge Tampa and TGH to honor its local veterans, seniors and caregivers, as well as its community partners with check presentations to Feeding Tampa Bay, The Salvation Army and Seniors in Service. In recognition of National Family Caregivers Month, the partnership also underscored how the PACE model extends vital support to caregivers through education, respite services and coordinated communication, empowering families alongside the loved ones for whom they care. Guests enjoyed performances by nationally acclaimed vocalist Cienna Alida Wesley and guided tours through its 35,000-square-foot center.
