Providence Center for Health Care Ethics (Portland, OR)
Biography
Established in 2000, Providence Health Care Ethics Center is an academic Center of Excellence that offers comprehensive ethics education programs for Providence Health System providers, patients, and families in Oregon. The Center offers a health-care ethics core curriculum, monthly seminars for physicians and internal medicine residents, ongoing training of ethics consultation teams, special educational sessions on critical issues in health-care ethics, and a visiting scholar and interfaith speakers series. Through the center’s advanced ethics telecommunications capability, it can reach remote rural and urban, national and international communities. Consistent with the Sisters of Providence core values, the center is dedicated to exploring the intersections of faith, science, philosophy, and culture in health-care institutions; facilitating inter-religious dialogue on contemporary issues in heath-care ethics; and bringing together health-care ethics resources for health-care providers. These efforts are improving the quality of care, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable patients.
