CryoCare Foundation


 * Not to be confused with Cryo-Care Equipment Corporation.

CryoCare Foundation or just CryoCare is an American nonprofit cryonics organization that conducted cryopreservations in the 1990s through its sister organizations. It was founded in 1993, when, the Alcor Life Extension Foundation undergoing a schism, about 50 Alcor members left Alcor to join and form CryoCare.

CryoCare did not conduct cryopreservations and long-term care directly, but handled these operations through sister organizations: BioPreservation provided the SST services, and CryoSpan provided the long-term care. CryoCare cryopreserved two people: James Gallagher in December 1995, and Henrietta Popper in May 1996. They both were transferred to Alcor on January 24, 2001.

In 1996, Ben Best became the vice president (in addition to his duties as secretary), and in 1999 he became the president. Other presidents include Brenda Peters, Charles Platt, and Brian Wowk.

CryoCare published the CryoCare Report newsletter in 1994–1997. In 1999, CryoCare notified its members that they could not continue to provide cryonics coverage.
