The Compassionate Care Initiative believes that purposeful, sustained, and robust instruction in resilience is critical for caregivers' health, wellness, and longevity. The CCI nurtures students, faculty, staff, and clinicians who are resilient and compassionate - and who understand that caring for themselves provides a foundation for the safe and exceptional care of others. Our purpose is to cultivate a resilient and compassionate healthcare workforce—locally, regionally, and nationally— through innovative educational and experiential programs. We envision safe and high functioning healthcare environments where all staff embody compassion in their work.
