Kalamazoo Gazette: WMU and program for elderly to collaborate

Western Michigan University will be working hand-in-hand with Kalamazoo’s upcoming senior care center, which will be available for low-income residents with health care needs next year, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports.

Kalamazoo's new Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) will be the seventh such program in Michigan when it opens in January 2013 at the CentraCare facility at 445 W.

The center and WMU are still planning how the different educational programs will work together.
