appreciative of all those caregivers, providers, advocate organization representatives, researchers, and especially our Advisory Board members, who willingly shared their experiences and wisdom with us over the course of the CCPP project. Their openness about the challenges they have faced themselves as caregivers or witnessed in interactions with family caregivers was beyond what we had anticipated. Their insights about how to improve the situation for all stakeholders and the outcomes, particularly for older adult patients, are inspiring.  \nWE COULDN’T HAVE COMPLETED THIS GUIDE WITHOUT THE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:  \nRonnie Daniel • Julie Day • Lee Ellington • Robert Ence Timothy Farrell • Laura Healey • Rachel Hess • Susan Hoepfner Barry Jacobs • John Lents • Jenifer Lloyd • Michael Magill Alan Ormsby • Rita Osborn • Deepthi Rajeev • Dean Reeder Rebecca Utz  \n• Rachel Day, Technical Writer/Editor  \n• Sheena McFarland, Editor  \nDesigned by Think Tank CC  \nA digital version of this guide can be found at:  \nECCLES.
