The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare

Partnering with healthcare organizations to advance compassion for patients, care teams, and their healing relationships.

In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, crowded with competing priorities, the human connection is too easily overlooked, leaving caregivers burned out and patients and families fearful and suffering. Through innovative programs, education and advocacy, the Schwartz Center is working to support caregivers, healthcare leaders and others and bring compassion to every healthcare experience.

Schwartz Rounds Program

We initiated the Schwartz Rounds program in 2002 and it is still going strong, with an average of more than 100 attendees each month. The format allows for a free exchange of ideas, feelings and reactions, reinforcing the common humanity of caregivers, patients and families. Schwartz Rounds sessions are clearly now part of the fabric of our institution.
