The Annual Kenneth B. Schwartz Compassionate Healthcare Dinner
Join us for an inspiring evening of celebration and giving at Boston’s premier healthcare fundraiser, dedicated to advancing compassionate care.
Your support that evening will directly fund innovative programs designed to ensure healthcare workers have the tools, resources, and support they need to deliver compassionate care in a rapidly changing landscape.
We’ll mark more than 30 years of partnership with an evening of inspiration by honoring the Schwartz Compassionate Caregiver Award recipients, whose remarkable stories remind us why this work matters.
Every dollar raised moves us closer to a future where compassion is at the center of every patient interaction and provider relationship — now and for years to come.
Bring your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, let’s make that future possible.
