The Virtual Annual Kenneth B. Schwartz Compassionate Healthcare Dinner

Honoring Our Nation of Caregivers

Thank you for joining us as we honor a nation of compassionate caregivers at the Schwartz Center’s 25th Anniversary Kenneth B. Schwartz Compassionate Healthcare Dinner. This virtual event celebrated the response of healthcare workers to the nation’s coronavirus pandemic and honored their commitment, resilience and compassion in the face of this public health crisis.

The Schwartz Center’s mission to promote compassionate care has never been more relevant and important. We invite you to learn more about our response to the crisis and to support the caregivers who have given so much to their patients during these difficult times.

This event brought together leaders from the hospital, health plan, biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device industries as well as from banking, real estate and law around a common commitment to equitable and compassionate healthcare. 

 

Registration is now closed, but if you have any questions, please contact us at events@theschwartzcenter.org.
