“Our comprehensive, collaborative center is focused on healthcare, well-being and social interaction, all of which are extremely important to everyone’s mental health, regardless of your age,” said Holy Cross Health President and CEO Mark Doyle. “Our new model of care for the AgeWell Center serves those who are Medicare eligible and will provide services needed to age successfully.”
The AgeWell Center medical director provides clinical oversight, with a focus on preventive health, well health visits and chronic and new condition management. The Population Health Nurse is your go-to healthcare provider helping you reach your goals. A social worker provides a listening ear and is a community resource expert.
The patient concierge builds relationships with all members of the Holy Cross Health AgeWell Center, helping them and their families navigate through their visit and assistance with coordinating necessary appointments and transportation to and from the center.
“We are focused on providing the ultimate experience for each older adult, family member and visitor during their time at our facility,” said AgeWell Center Physician Leader Dr. Jennifer Capezzuti. “The Milken Institute ranks the top cities for ‘successful aging’ with criteria that covers everything from general livability to healthcare to education to community engagement. In 2019, South Florida, covering Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, ranked 74th in the list of the 100 Best Cities for Successful Aging. We need to do better. Our AgeWell Center is a tremendous step forward for the older population in our community.”
