The Schwartz Rounds program was introduced in 1995 with the founding of the Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare and is the legacy of Kenneth Schwartz.

Ken was a healthcare attorney who was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer at the age of 40. He was moved by the compassionate care he received from his caregivers. Near the end of his life, he wrote:

Ken understood that the changing healthcare environment could diminish the empathy and humanity in healthcare. To ensure that all patients receive the kind of care he received, he founded the Schwartz Center in the last week of his life. After his death, Ken’s family met with his caregivers to ask what they needed to maintain their compassion – their answer was simple: They needed time together to process their work.
