In our ongoing commitment to provide timely, relevant information about emerging issues for Catholic health care, the Catholic Health Association is offering a monthly series of webinars to address critical ethical issues in caring for patients and families in Catholic hospitals, long-term care facilities and medical centers nationwide.

Each 45-minute session will examine the implications of a specific critical issue in clinical and organizational ethics in the context of Catholic Social Teaching and the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs). Moderators of the series are Brian M. Kane, Ph.D., CHA senior director, ethics; and Nathaniel Blanton Hibner, Ph.D., CHA director, ethics.

The "When the Patient is Racist" webinar introduces four experiences of racism that can occur in the health care delivery setting based on a New York Times Blog Post by Pauline Chen. Through an interactive discussion and a small group exercise we will explore structural racism and the challenges and opportunities for improvement at the individual and organizational level.
