WCSI Regional Caritas Consortia™

Overview

WCSI Regional Caritas Consortia™ (WCSI-RCC) are local grass-roots forums, that emerged from the Watson Caring Science Institute’s International Caritas Consortium (ICC), to increase opportunities to explore the philosophy, ethic, and practices of Caring Science in their local areas.

Each group requires a Caritas Coach®, Caritas Leader® or a Watson Caring Science Postdoctoral/Sr. Scholar as member of the region's committee.

Watson Caring Science Institute endorses Regional Caritas Consortia to help nurses and nursing and other health care providers unite and expand shared values, philosophies, theories, practice and commitments to advance human caring, healing, health and peace for our world.
