心の通い合う
Japanese to English

Medical (general)
In a phrase "心の通い合う医療を行う" in a "Goals" section of a pamphlet for a hospital.
Would "provide medical care with heart-to-heart communication" sound strange? How about "provide medical care with emotional rapport"? Maybe "provide compassionate medical care"?

medical care that is sensitive to patients' emotional needs
Surely the idea is not that the medical provider become emotionally involved, rather that it respond positively to the emotional needs of its patients. There is an important difference.
