CBS News Interviews JAHF Grantee, PACE Medical Director Dr. Gwendolyn Graddy
Dr. Graddy was interviewed by CBS on their news feature on how the GOP health bill would impact Americans on Medicaid.
Dr. Graddy is the medical director of PACE Southeast Michigan - Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly - and she is one of The John A. Hartford Foundation-sponsored Geriatric Provider Advocates, through a grant to Community Catalyst. Her PACE clinic provides comprehensive care for frail and elderly patients in Detroit. Like nearly 70 million Americans, her patients are all enrolled in Medicaid, and, Dr. Graddy says, without Medicaid, "a number of these people would prematurely end up in nursing homes. Or number two, these people would end up in emergency rooms getting their primary care and ultimately end up in hospitals receiving care," she says.
