Schwartz Center Rounds – Third Wednesday of the month
The Schwartz Center Rounds are a multidisciplinary forum where caregivers discuss important emotional and social issues that arise in caring for seriously ill patients. This forum focuses specifically on bringing together providers from different disciplines (medicine, nursing, chaplaincy, social work, etc.) as well as from different services (intensive care, cardiology, neonatology, etc.) to explore those complicated or unusual cases where a team approach to care and communication are essential. Unlike grand rounds, these conferences are not about clinical problem-solving, but rather about exploring and processing the emotions that come up in the daily work of hospital staff. Participants are encouraged to engage in an interactive discussion about the issues presented and share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings. For further information, contact Patricia DiGiorgio at (585) 273-1154.

This series of conferences meets monthly to consider topics relevant to palliative care and its mission to provide comprehensive care to seriously ill patients and their families. The domains considered include: Managing pain or other symptoms; clarifying and articulating goals of care; offering patient and family support; and when needed, assistance with making end-of-life decisions. For further information, contact Patricia DiGiorgio at (585) 273-1154.
