This conference, co-sponsored by
The
Catholic Health Association of the United States and the
Neiswanger
Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy, Loyola University Chicago Stritch
School of Medicine
brought together leading moral theologians and health care ethicists to
outline the social, anthropological, and methodological foundations of
Catholic health care ethics, to apply conceptual resources to current
problems, and to confront moral challenges on the horizon for Catholic
health care providers. This year’s program had a special emphasis on serving diverse populations of patients and
families through spiritually and culturally appropriate end-of-life care.
The conference had three
parts:
-
Plenary sessions that explore the roots of Catholic bioethics
especially as evidenced in the
Ethical and Religious
Directives for Catholic Health Care Services
of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and;
-
Plenary
sessions that examine issues in end-of-life care, and;
-
Small group
sessions in which participants discuss creative strategies to address
contemporary challenges in health care.
This program was intended
for executive leaders, mission leaders, pastoral care staff, members of
ethics committees, clinicians, sponsors, and others in the Catholic health
ministry.
Objectives:
After participating in this
conference, persons should be able to:
-
Discuss the theological
and anthropological underpinnings of Catholic moral teachings in health
care.
-
Analyze the
Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care
Services and

the care of patients, families, and communities.
