Longmont United Hospital holds Schwartz Center Rounds
Schwartz Center Rounds are a multi-disciplinary forum where clinical caregivers gather, in a confidential setting, to discuss their experiences, thoughts, and feelings related to patient care. The premise of the Kenneth B. Schwartz Center is that "caregivers are better able to make a personal connection with patients when they have a greater awareness and insight into their own responses and feelings."
Longmont United Hospital continues its commitment to practice the Planetree philosophy of total wellness and is a resource for the communities it serves.
Donors don't give to institutions.
They invest in ideas and people in whom they believe.
