(the “Company” or “InnovAge”) (Nasdaq: INNV) today announced that its four Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) centers in Virginia have been certified as Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).

Additionally, InnovAge’s center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has passed its annual recertification. NCQA is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to assessing and reporting on the quality of a wide range of healthcare organizations to help consumers, employers and others make more informed health care choices.
