THE ORGANIZATION

Tanenbaum promotes justice and builds respect for religious difference by transforming individuals and institutions to reduce prejudice, hatred and violence.

We work directly with health care organizations including large health care systems, small- and mid-size hospitals, and medical and nursing schools.
