“The Power of Gratitude in Healthcare Experiences” 

Faculty

Rev. Ute Schmidt, Master in Religious Education*

The goal of this program is to support and advance compassionate health care in which caregivers, patients and their families relate to one another in a way that provides hope to the patient, support to the caregivers and sustenance to the healing process.  

Schwartz Center Rounds® sessions are open to ALL employees, affiliated clinicians, trainees and other authorized personnel.  

After participating in this educational activity, attendees should be able to:
•    Connect with other caregivers to decrease my sense of isolation in my work with patients.
•    Describe changes that may be needed in departmental or institutional policies or practices.
•    Describe the perspectives and experiences of the patients and families presented in the case.
•    Describe the roles of the members of the health care team in their respective responsibilities for quality care.
