This often results in frequent emergency room visits, avoidable hospitalizations, and aggressive end-of-life measures.

To address these challenges, MD Anderson has established the Center for Goal Concordant Care Research. The Center aims to bridge existing knowledge gaps by leveraging cutting-edge scientific advancements to tailor appropriate care interventions for the right patient at the right time.
The overarching vision is to establish the Center for Goal Concordant Care Research as the preeminent international research center revolutionizing the science of person-centered, goal-concordant, and value-based care.
