About The Schwartz Center

The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the relationship between patients and caregivers and making compassionate care a national healthcare priority.  The Center’s signature program is Schwartz Center Rounds®, which has been adopted by hundreds of hospitals and healthcare institutions across the country.  The program brings together caregivers from multiple disciplines to discuss the challenging emotional and social issues that arise in caring for patients. The Schwartz Center also develops and funds innovative programs, recognizes and honors exemplary caregivers, and supports policies that promote compassionate care.  We have an inventory of patient and caregiver stories that demonstrate the emotional and rational benefits of compassionate care.  We can also introduce you to our programs, which have been demonstrated to advance compassionate care, improve communication and teamwork, and reduce caregiver stress and burnout.
