Description

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

Each 45-minute session examines 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).

This session Co-sponsored by the Catholic Health Association in cooperation with Georgetown University.

An insightful webinar that delves into the complexities surrounding brain death and its implications for organ transplantation, it explores how these issues shape our Catholic approach to providing the best care for donors, recipients and their families.

Through thoughtful discussion and expert perspectives, this webinar aims to clarify the ethical, medical and theological questions at the heart of this crucial topic.
