InnovAge Colorado PACE

Center Director
Linda Whyte InnovAge Colorado PACE - Thornton Center Director

I spent a lot time interacting with my grandparents and as they got older I found myself caring for them. I was able to take them to doctor’s appointments, administer medications, and met other personal needs. This helped me realize my passion and led to my wonderful career at InnovAge. I enjoy making a positive difference in the lives of the seniors we serve by responding through the lens of my grandparents and my 87-year-old dad.

Linda Whyte became director of InnovAge's Thornton PACE center in November 2019. She also serves as interim director of InnovAge's Northern Colorado Center. She has held several roles with InnovAge including as provider relations manager and in leadership positions for adult day center operations, and administrative services. She began her career with InnovAge as an administrative coordinator at the Lakewood PACE center. Linda holds a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in healthcare management from Colorado Technical University in Colorado Springs.

Regional Medical Officer – Central Region
Headshot Of InnovAge Dr. Mark Learned; Regional Medical Officer – Central Region

I saw my mother care for her mother for more than 15 years after a traumatic brain injury, and I watched my father care for his mother as she declined from dementia. They were clearly labors of love – and Herculean labors in their own right. Spending my career at a place that tries to help seniors and families get the help they need is a tremendous honor. 

Dr. Mark Learned most recently served as vice president of Colorado Permanente Medical Group. He earned his medical degree at the University of Washington School of Medicine and his medical residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. 

Mark has practiced as a primary care internal medicine physician for over eight years. He has experience as a medical director for Medicaid and charitable programs, with extensive experience in primary care, urgent care, behavioral health, and broad-ranging experiences in leadership at multiple levels of primary care operations, quality, and government relations.

Andrew Beaulieu, MD - InnovAge Primary Care Doctor

I love the PACE program because not only does it provide comprehensive care but it also addresses the issue of loneliness, allowing our  patients to come together, establish relationships,  and enjoy each other’s company.

Dr. Beaulieu earned his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School and his bachelor degree from the University of Notre Dame. He completed residencies in internal medicine and nephrology at Rhode Island Hospital. Dr. Beaulieu is board certified in internal medicine.

He worked in private practice as a nephrologist for 15 years so he brings special expertise to help PACE participants manage chronic kidney disease, electrolyte imbalance and refractory hypertension.
