PREPARE
Our Mission
Founded by Dr. Rebecca Sudore in 2013, the PREPARE program’s mission is to educate and empower as many individuals as possible with its advance care planning (ACP) tools. We envision a future where all people and caregivers can access and engage in high-quality ACP, have a voice in their healthcare, make informed medical decisions, and obtain the medical care that is right for them.
What We Offer
You can access the following ACP tools on PREPAREforYourCare.org.

- PREPARE for Their Care: An online, step-by-step caregiver program that helps caregivers start conversations with their family and friends and supports caregivers in making medical decisions for others.
