The Watson Caring Science Institute, based in Boulder, CO, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the principles of Caring Science in healthcare. Founded by nurse and scholar Dr. Jean Watson, the institute aims to restore the profound nature of caring-healing within a unitary Caring Science framework, not only for nurses but for all caring professionals. Their mission is to deepen and expand Watson's Caring Science, incorporating the ethic, philosophy, and diverse practices of caring and Love Caritas, to transform the dominant model of medical science into a model of compassionate and holistic healthcare. As an autonomous organization, the Watson Caring Science Institute operates under 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors. The institute relies on educational programs, teaching-consulting initiatives, and the support of individuals, healthcare systems, professional organizations, and foundations to fund its work. With a focus on enhancing patient care outcomes, promoting safe practices, and improving nurse and care provider retention, the institute strives to transform healthcare one caregiver, educator, leader, and system at a time.Generated from the website
