By helping older adults maintain their quality of life, PACE empowers seniors to age independently in the communities they cherish, sustaining their connections to the places and people that mean the most to them.<br/><br/>Previously, John was the Market President at AmeriHealth Caritas, where he managed over 160,000 beneficiaries and oversaw critical programs to improve member satisfaction, clinical care quality, and profitability. Prior to his tenure at AmeriHealth, John served as the Health Plan President for Amerigroup New Jersey, where he was instrumental in obtaining state support for and ultimately implementing major initiatives such as Managed Long-Term Services and Supports. Under his leadership, the New Jersey health plan led the market in quality scores as well as cost-effectiveness ratings.<br/><br/>John graduated from the University of Connecticut with a bachelor’s degree in history and earned a master’s degree from the University of Michigan. He has been a board member for several organizations focused on healthcare, education, and community-based programs.<br/><br/>John remains a student at heart. He is always happy to hear of another good book, over-stuffed bookshelves notwithstanding. <br/><br/>** We appreciate Mr. Koehn’s insights on InnovAge and PACE.
