Patina

It was a great day to see our CEO, Jack Stoddard, in action at the inaugural EmpathyTech conference in Philadelphia, hosted by NewCourtland . Speaking on behalf of Patina, Jack joined a panel to discuss the essential role of empathy in healthcare technology design for older adults and their caregivers. The conversation centered on creating tailored solutions that truly matter—those that improve daily life, uphold dignity, and enhance well-being. Jack and other leaders explored how human-centered design can drive meaningful change, inspiring a broader commitment to empathy-based innovation in healthcare. Peers at Dina, Koda Health, Quarvis Health, Inc., and others shared stories of perseverance and purpose in addressing the challenges of caregiving and aging. At Patina, we’re proud to be part of a movement focused on delivering age-friendly, compassionate health care to older adults. 

Next week, Patina CEO Jack Stoddard will join a panel at EmpathyTech Philadelphia to discuss "Navigating the Challenges and Innovations in Aging and Caregiving Technologies." Together with Dr. George Demiris of UPenn’s PennAITech, Anne Ollen of TIAA Institute, Kelly Johnston Quarvis Health, Ellen Cathrine Andersen of SensCom AS (creator of DignaCare), and moderator Garry Pezzano, CEO of LeadingAge PA, they’ll explore the role of empathy in healthcare technology design. The conversation will highlight how human-centered technology can align with the values and needs of older adults and their caregivers — supporting well-being, improving daily life, and fostering dignity. Hosted by Pletly and NewCourtland EmpathyTech brings together changemakers committed to reshaping healthcare through empathy-driven solutions. At Patina, we’re honored to be part of this vital discussion, dedicated to delivering compassionate, age-friendly care for adults 65+. https://lnkd.in/eG84nG-6

Every day, we’re humbled by the positive patient feedback we receive.

Since becoming a Patina patient, she has been impressed by her dedicated Patina team, who respect her preferences and values. We asked if Carol would share more about her experience.

“I feel seen and secure that Patina will be there when I need them.” We’re reinventing the healthcare and aging experience for people 65 and older – like Dave, a retired maintenance manager who enjoys an active lifestyle that includes creating art, fishing with his brothers, and leading a local charity that supports underprivileged teens and adolescents. Looking for a more personalized approach where his care team was really listening to him and addressing his needs, Dave turned to Patina and now receives care on his terms through a mix of in-home visits, phone check-ins, and the Patina mobile app. Read more about Dave and how age-friendly, comprehensive primary care meets the needs of his lifestyle: https://bit.ly/3A1iNWB

I feel like the whole team knows me and has my best interests at heart.” The Patina primary care experience puts people 65+ at the center of a team devoted to helping them live and age well.
