'Schwartz rounds' at the hospital: a program to help the helpers

Doctors, nurses and other health care providers have a regular chance to share their thoughts and feelings about their work lives through a program called the Schwartz rounds at Upstate University Hospital. Participants are free to share or comment on their work experiences, often dealing with difficult topics, and it is hoped, fostering confidence, camaraderie and appreciation toward their careers. Upstate Chaplain Brigid Dunn, who coordinates the program, tells about the benefit of these confidential meetings to the participants and, she hopes, to their patients.
