Our Mission: Keeping Seniors Healthy and Independent


Our mission is simple: Keeping Seniors Healthy and Independent. That’s been the SCAN mission since the organization was founded in 1977.

It started when a group of senior activists in Long Beach, California got together, determined to improve access to the care and services they needed so they could stay as independent as possible. They brought together experts in medicine, gerontology, psychology and social services and formed the Senior Care Action Network, a not-for-profit health plan for people with Medicare.

Now known as SCAN, we are still not-for-profit. And we are still dedicated to helping our members live how and where they choose, with the assistance they might need as they get older.
