Mission & Vision
Mission
To foster moral awareness and ethical action in health care practice and leadership
The mission is accomplished, in partnership with the Department of Health Care Ethics, through teaching, scholarship and community outreach. The Center for Ethics and Leadership in the Health Professions provides services to professionals from the Rocky Mountain region’s health care community and contributes to the larger national and international dialogue on health care through scholarship and professional activities. Members of the Department faculty and Fellows of the Center are knowledgeable in clinical and organizational ethics, as well as health care public policy, with special attention to the Catholic moral and social justice traditions.
Values
Drawing on the larger mission and values of the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions and the Catholic Jesuit heritage of Regis University, the Center for Ethics and Leadership in the Health Professions is dedicated to promoting deep individual reflection and an informed civil discourse based on the following core values:
- Respect for the life and dignity of the human person
- Intellectual rigor and humility in the face of complex issues
- Responsibility of the individual to act with an informed conscience
- Commitment to the common good, with particular care for those who are poor and marginalized.
Guided by these core values, the Center for Ethics and Leadership in the Health Professions provides outreach to the Rocky Mountain health care community in the form of consultative services, education, research, and other collaborative activities. With a focus on the future, the Center is deeply committed to scholarship that promotes the moral reflection and leadership needed to create health care systems that are able to meet the dilemmas of a diverse society, scarce resources, emerging technologies, and mounting global health challenges.
