UCSF PREPARE Program Receives $65,000 Stupski Foundation Grant to Strengthen Advance Care Planning at Alameda Health System

The Stupski Foundation has awarded the UCSF PREPARE Program a $65,000 grant to support a three-year project (2026-2028) aimed at optimizing advance care planning (ACP) practices at Alameda Health System (AHS). Rebecca Sudore, MD, and her staff will collaborate with AHS leaders to address ACP gaps for seriously ill patients and older adults by implementing the UCSF PREPARE Program’s evidence-based tools. This work will include advising on an implementation plan, guiding needs assessments/data collection, and helping AHS leaders deliver effective ACP education for clinicians. A key component will be designing strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of ACP activities across AHS.
