The Schwartz Center provides education, training, and support resources to hundreds of health care providers seeking to preserve the human connection in health care delivery and build resiliency in a workforce that provides care with empathy and compassion. GNYHA has collaborated with The Schwartz Center since 2016.

GNYHA provides member hospitals with the financial support to maintain their Schwartz Center memberships. 54 GNYHA hospitals are Schwartz Center members, including five that began their affiliation this year.
