Contemplative Care

The New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care (NYZC) trains people from all walks of life in compassionate caregiving. They support people and their loved ones through serious illness and death, and assist family and friends during their grieving process.

Since opening in 2007, the center has been a trailblazer in researching, testing and developing contemplative care methodologies. Today, New York Zen Center’s techniques are internationally recognized—and have touched the lives of tens of thousands of individuals. 

At the heart of their mission, NYZC focuses on caring for the most vulnerable among us and places its primary focus on their founding vision: to transform the culture of care through contemplative practice by meeting illness, aging, and death with compassion and wisdom. This information has been taken from their website:   https://zencare.org/about/
