ABOUT US:

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. Research shows this program strengthens compassion and enhances patient care. The Schwartz Center’s evidence-informed programs and resources have proven to be versatile, sustainable and effective across diverse settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, cancer centers, VA medical centers, organ donation organizations, nursing homes, hospice providers, health insurers, and beyond.
