Recognition Programs

The past few years have brought new urgency to supporting the well-being of the healthcare workforce, so that they can provide compassionate care to patients and families. The Schwartz Center’s work to prioritize healthcare workers’ well-being has been critical to preventing burnout and improving the patient experience. We also recognize the importance of celebrating healthcare workers so that they continue to feel valued and appreciated.

We have two awards programs:

  • National Compassionate Caregivers of the Year® (NCCY) Award: Nominate an individual caregiver who displays extraordinary devotion and compassion in caring for patients and families.
  • Corman IMPACT Honors: Nominate a program or initiative that promotes compassionate, collaborative care within your organization or system (open to Schwartz Center healthcare member organizations only).
