Samford University’s Healthcare Ethics and Law Institute (HEAL) will examine Eliminating Health-care Delivery Disparities: An Ethical Quagmire? during its 10th anniversary conference on April 8 from 8:25 a.m.–3:45 p.m. in Brock Forum of Dwight M. Beeson Hall.
The conference — sponsored by Samford’s McWhorter School of Pharmacy — is designed to help Alabama institutional ethics committees and those involved in patient care with today’s most pressing ethical and legal issues.
Visiting speakers will include David Satcher, former U.S. surgeon general and director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute in Atlanta; Robert Veatch, a pioneer of medical ethics and professor at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics and Georgetown University in Washington; and Gregory E. Pence, philosophy professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
HEAL Director Bruce D. White will present a case study, “The Family From Hell,” and will provide closing comments.
