Famed radio host Bernard Meltzer once said, “There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.” This is my life’s mission and purpose.

Shawn Kimball, DDS
InnovAge has helped me fulfill my vision of why I chose dentistry as a career. It has long been my belief that dentistry belongs as part of a larger whole. Working in such a collaborative environment allows me to advocate for oral and dental health as an important part of systemic health. It has expanded my understanding of how dentistry is but one piece of a large and complex health puzzle. To provide care that helps seniors maintain independence, health, and personal dignity keeps me joyfully coming back day after day. Read More

Mark Learned, MD
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.
