Schwartz Center Rounds at Cooper
The Schwartz Center
Through innovative programs, education, and advocacy, the Schwartz Center for Compassion Healthcare is working to support caregivers, healthcare leaders, and others and bring compassion to every healthcare experience. The Center was established in 1995 by Kenneth Schwartz, a health care attorney, before he died of lung cancer at the age of 40.
What are Schwartz Rounds?
Schwartz Rounds is a forum where caregivers discuss social and emotional issues that arise in caring for patients. A multidisciplinary panel is facilitated to share their experiences, and then the discussion opens up to comments from audience participants. It is a great way to reflect on subjects that mat not be typically discussed in a group setting.
When and Where?
Schwartz Rounds are scheduled approximately monthly/bi-monthly during the lunch hour. Days are subject to change pending conference center availability. Team members are welcome to attend in-person in the hospital conference center or virtually.
Who may attend?
All Cooper team members and trainees are welcome. CEUs are offered for those who may receive them.
