Compassion makes healthcare better - one connection at a time.
At the Schwartz Center, we know that compassion has the power to save lives. Compassionate healthcare isn’t just an ideal—it’s essential for patients, families, and their care teams to thrive.
Healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges: staffing shortages, widespread provider burnout, mounting financial pressures, and deepening health disparities. Our programs increase compassion in healthcare and create more meaningful connections between patients and healthcare professionals.

Support the expansion of the Schwartz Rounds program via new adaptations and in new settings, and the development of new programs and tools.
