About us
The SCAN Foundation, led by President and CEO Sarita A. Mohanty, MD, MPH, MBA, is dedicated to creating a society where older adults can access health and supportive services of their choosing to meet their needs. To make this vision a reality, we work to ensure the availability, affordability, and quality of long-term services and supports that keep vulnerable older adults independent in the place they call home. WHY OUR WORK MATTERS As all of us grow older, most people will encounter daily challenges, such as: • Getting help with daily needs like going to the grocery store and keeping the house clean; • Managing chronic illness; • Worrying about how to pay for care and services; and/or • Wondering about being able to live in a place of one’s choosing. Right now, there is no coordinated and easily navigated system in place to support Americans who want to live independently as they age. The time for solutions is now. Across all the work we fund, we value projects that are bold, catalytic, and impact-oriented. OUR AREAS OF FOCUS • Transform care and delivery: This goal is to establish person-centered, integrated models as the gold standard of care that all older adults come to expect and receive—regardless of whether they have Medicare only, or are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. • Build resilience and capacity: This goal is to inspire and enable innovators to create new offerings that embrace the beauty of life as we age, and enrich the lives of older adults and families. We encourage innovators to design with older adults, not just for them. • Drive responsive financing policies: This goal is to drive responsive federal and state financing policies to create meaningful care choices for older adults of today and tomorrow. HOW WE BEGAN The SCAN Foundation was created as an independent charitable organization in April 2008 through a one-time contribution of $205 million from the not-for-profit SCAN Health Plan.

The SCAN Foundation reposted this
Working in health policy in DC can sometimes be discouraging - we have a long way to go to improve our health and aging systems. And then, you get an opportunity to surround yourself with brilliant friends and colleagues - old and new - and brainstorm paths ahead that seem just a little more attainable with the collaboration of those who share in the mission. This year's Aspen Ideas Health offered a truly inspiring environment and I'm excited to bring those learnings back. I'm ready for the hard work ahead. #olderadults #aspenideashealth The Aspen Institute Aspen Ideas
