Member Experience Advisor - Schwartz Center

ABOUT US:

The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare's mission is to partner with healthcare organizations to advance compassion for patients, care teams, and their healing relationships. We are a Boston-based nonprofit with national and international reach, with approximately 600 hospitals in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as members, and another 320 hospitals/systems conducting Schwartz Rounds throughout the UK and Ireland. Together, we are helping hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals provide compassionate care to millions of patients and families. The Schwartz Center's strategic priorities for the coming decade include expansion of Schwartz Rounds within existing members, as well as to new acute care hospitals and into adjacent healthcare markets such as ambulatory centers, retail health, and virtual/home-based care. We are also looking to strengthen our community of compassionate care champions, who are the clinical leaders running our programs across the globe, and to further develop our Model for Compassionate Care and associated tools and resources. We are looking to build new relationships, collaborations, and partnerships with a wide variety of external organizations and associations who are aligned with our work supporting caregiver well-being and patient/family compassion. Our operational budget is funded approximately 50% by philanthropy, with funds coming from individual, corporate and foundation donors, and 50% by earned revenue, including from our membership. Our vision for the coming decade is to be a global leader in championing compassion for all who seek and provide healthcare.
