Before joining Health Management Associates, Jason worked for Empath Health’s Suncoast PACE, Inc. As interim vice president of PACE and elder services, he had operational, fiscal, public policy and advocacy oversight for the PACE program, two start-up PACE programs in neighboring counties, and a community adult day care center.

Jason expanded PACE services to four new service areas, executing the CMS application, coordinating with the consulting company, and providing end-to-end deliverables for two simultaneous expansion projects.
