Making the Case for the Schwartz Rounds Program
Our programs increase compassion in healthcare and create more meaningful connections between patients and healthcare professionals. We work with more than 700 partners in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to advance compassion for patients, care teams, and their healing relationships.
Healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges: staffing shortages, widespread provider burnout, mounting financial pressures, and deepening health disparities. We deliver evidence-based solutions that restore purpose to healthcare work, reduce burnout, and ensure that compassion remains at the heart of healing.
We have a variety of resources to help support you in launching or renewing your partnership with us:
