Catholic Ethics for Mission Leaders

Ethics Education Exclusively for Mission Leaders

CHA's ethics education program is designed exclusively for mission leaders in systems, facilities and regional organizations to support their critical role in the ministry.

Profound changes in health financing and delivery, population health, and new models for business and collaboration are transforming the face of health care in the U.S. and the Catholic health ministry.

These changes raise unprecedented challenges for mission leaders who are responsible for ethics within their organizations and for safeguarding Catholic identity.

A New Cohort Is Forming for 2019-2020

Formerly known as Navigating the Landscape of Catholic Health Ethics — A Program for Mission Leaders, this popular ethics education program is now called Catholic Ethics for Mission Leaders to more succinctly describe its purpose. A new cohort is currently forming for the 2019-2020 session that will take place from April 11, 2019 to April 3, 2020.

The format features an ideal blend of in-person meetings and online sessions to accommodate busy schedules. To optimize engagement and networking, each cohort is limited to 30 participants.

The program begins with an in-person meeting and orientation April 11-12, 2019, in CHA's St. Louis office, followed by a series of eight online sessions that begin every six weeks. Each session may be completed during the six-week interval in which it is offered. The program culminates with an in-person meeting April 2-3, 2020, at CHA's St. Louis office to integrate learning. For your convenience, you may view the complete schedule here.
