The one hundred honoree: The Kenneth B. Schwartz Center

by
Mass General Giving

The essence of healing is caring for the whole patient — body and mind. Moments of engagement between patients and caregivers offer valuable opportunities for understanding illness, calming anxiety and providing hope. The Kenneth B. Schwartz Center, founded by Ellen Cohen (pictured) in memory of her late husband Ken Schwartz, together with his family and friends, conducts pioneering programs to educate, train and support caregivers in the art of compassionate health care.
