Providence Center for Health Care Ethics was established in 2000 to serve the ethics consultation, education and scholarship needs of Providence Health & Services in Oregon. Located on the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center campus, the center houses an endowed chair in applied health care ethics and two funded lectureships as part of its overall education program. Although located in Portland, the Providence Center for Health Care Ethics serves all Oregon Providence facilities.
The vision of Providence Center for Health Care Ethics is to contribute to excellence in patient care by providing the highest-quality ethics education, consultation, research and scholarship. While seeking to distinguish itself as a theological center addressing ethics across the continuum of care, the center particularly focuses on ethical issues in the care of patients of diverse faith, spiritual and cultural traditions and palliative care.
