ABOUT US:
The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare's mission is to partner with healthcare organizations to advance compassion for patients, care teams, and their healing relationships. We are a Boston-based nonprofit with international reach, with nearly 800 organizations in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand conducting the Schwartz Rounds program.

We are looking to build new relationships, collaborations, and partnerships with a wide variety of external organizations and associations who are aligned with our work supporting caregiver well-being and patient/family compassion.
