Shortly before his death in 1995, Kenneth B. Schwartz, a cancer patient at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), founded The Kenneth B. Schwartz Center at MGH. The Schwartz Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing compassionate health care delivery that provides hope to the patient and support to caregivers, and encourages the healing process. The Center sponsors the Schwartz Center Rounds, a monthly multidisciplinary forum where caregivers reflect on important psychosocial issues faced by patients, their families, and their caregivers, and gain insight and support from fellow staff members. In this article a nurse relates her experience as caregiver for a patient who made repeated racially motivated comments. She reflects on her response and the support she received from her colleagues.
1995年，马萨诸塞州综合医院（MGH）的癌症患者肯尼斯·B·施瓦茨在去世前不久，在MGH成立了肯尼斯·B·施瓦茨中心。施瓦茨中心是一个非营利组织，致力于支持和推进富有同情心的医疗服务，为患者带来希望，为护理人员提供支持，并促进康复过程。该中心主办施瓦茨中心查房活动，这是一个每月一次的多学科论坛，护理人员在此反思患者、其家人和护理人员所面临的重要心理社会问题，并从同事那里获得见解和支持。在本文中，一位护士讲述了她作为护理人员照顾一位多次发表带有种族歧视言论患者的经历。她反思了自己的反应以及从同事那里得到的支持。
