The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare: What Happens to Compassion During an Opioid Epidemic?

December 13, 2017

Yale caregivers in the Pediatrics department were featured in a video entitled: What Happens to Compassion During an Opioid Epidemic? by the Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare, with accompanying write up as follows:

"How can caregivers and families work together to provide the best possible care for the smallest victims of the opioid crisis? Learn how one hospital rethought their entire care program to better support newborn babies born dependent on opioids -- and their mothers. Also hear Medical Director Beth Lown, MD, describe what the Schwartz Center is doing to help support caregivers struggling with the burden of caring for patients with substance use disorders."
