Northwestern Memorial Hospital presents
A Schwartz Rounds
It Is In Giving That We Receive
When we “go the extra mile” for our patients and families, we are surprised to find out how much we receive in return. The panelists will share an amazing event they hosted on their unit – a wedding for a dying patient. Together we will reflect on how such acts of special care not only make the world of difference to patients and families but also transform the care team in the process.
