The SCAN Foundation: Founded in 2008, The SCAN Foundation is dedicated to transforming care for older adults. Led by President and CEO Sarita A. Mohanty, MD, MPH, MBA, the foundation aims to ensure that older adults can access health and supportive services of their choosing. As the population ages, challenges such as managing chronic illness and accessing care become more prevalent.
Focus Areas: The foundation focuses on transforming care and delivery, building resilience and capacity, and driving responsive financing policies. These efforts aim to establish person-centered care models, inspire innovators to create new offerings for older adults, and drive financing policies that create meaningful care choices for older adults.
Initiative Impact: The foundation's work is crucial as there is currently no coordinated system to support Americans who want to live independently as they age. The foundation values projects that are bold, catalytic, and impact-oriented, aiming to address the daily challenges faced by older adults.
Last Investment: The foundation received a $19.84K grant investment on 09 October 2023 from the Do It Best Foundation.
Industry: The SCAN Foundation operates in the health care industry, striving to ensure the availability, affordability, and quality of long-term services and supports for vulnerable older adults.
