This conference, co-sponsored by The Catholic Health Association of the United States, the Illinois Catholic Health Association, and the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine brought together a diverse body of scholars including moral theologians and health care ethicists to discuss the social, anthropological, and methodological foundations of Catholic health care ethics, applied conceptual resources to current problems, and confronted moral challenges on the horizon for Catholic health care providers.

 

The conference consisted of two components:

 

  • Plenary sessions that explored pressing issues of wide-ranging issues in Catholic health care ethics, and;

  • small group sessions in which participants discussed creative strategies to address contemporary, clinical 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, social and legal foundations pertinent to Catholic health care ethics in our contemporary context.

  • Analyze the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services and interpret their meaning for ethical issues arising in health care.

  • Identify and describe clinical, social and global concerns pertinent to the delivery of Catholic health care in our contemporary context.
