“We apply a certain rigor to each and every decision we make – big or small – to ensure operational effectiveness and consistency with our mission and values. The Ethics Discernment Framework helps us work through these clinical, organizational and social ethics dilemmas in a thoughtful way.”

"I am very impressed at how methodical and respectful this process is pertaining to all those impacted by decisions made.  Proud to be with an organization which employs a comprehensive strategy like this.  This is certainly living our mission."

"This provided me with exposure to viewpoints and considerations I had not previously reflected on even though I am very close to the impact of this decision"

“You’ve got us thinking about things that we weren’t thinking about before, and that makes this worthwhile.”

“The Ethics Discernment Framework ensures that we listen to each other, explore differing viewpoints, and thoroughly consider relevant factors. It helps us make decisions more fully aligned with our values and sometimes in the long run even save time that otherwise would be spent on clean-up or discussion about how and why a decision was made.”

"As this was my first Discernment, I was most impressed and gratified by this process. I especially appreciated the opportunity to reflect, and to do so in silence at the end. I would recommend executive leaders to incorporate some of these principles and practices in their work."
