Mission Innovation, Theology and Ethics

Providing a path forward in Ethics
As you bring the fullness of your personal and professional expertise and gifts to the healing ministry of healthcare, you realize that expected value conflicts can occur or unexpected dilemmas can arise. From our experience and research we know this is normal in a community that welcomes diverse perspectives. We design and implement, with our colleagues and partners, key initiatives and infrastructure to address clinical, organizational and social ethics dilemmas. We offer tailored consultation, education, policy review and ethics improvement initiatives that provide a path forward, respecting the values at stake, while reducing or mitigating conflict and moral distress. Our signature initiatives build capacity in the areas detailed below.
