Senior Health Partners (SHP), a collaborative effort of Mount Sinai, The Jewish Home and Hospital, and Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty, was established to develop multiple sites for the Program for All-inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE) in Manhattan. SHP, modeled after the successful On Lok Senior Health Services PACE program in San Francisco, allows frail elderly to remain in their own homes even when they need nursing home-level care.

Through a single program that receive capitated payments from Medicaid and Medicare, SHP provides access to complete medical, social, nutritional, and rehabilitative services, both in the older adult's home as well as at the PACE center, which houses a social model day program and a diagnostic and treatment center. The care is provided and coordinated by a multi-disciplinary team that has routine and regular contact with the elderly participants and their families. The Brookdale Department of Geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the Jewish Home and Hospital will collaborate to develop these clinical and research programs. The first of three PACE sites opened in the East Harlem area at the end of 2000.
