2020 West Michigan Health Care Ethics Conference
This year's conference will present an in-depth look at the consideration that religious beliefs may and/or should have in the treatment of a patient and also in the patient's decision-making. The conference will bring expert speakers as well as a diverse and prestigious panel of area faith leaders who will bring insights based on their faith's religious beliefs and practices to the conversation. The conference will also include a facilitated discussion allowing the audience to respond and participate during interactive exercises. Concluding the event, an expert panel will include our distinguished DeVos Medical Ethics Colloquy speakers who will expand the conversation and open the door for further exploration of the topic that will carry into our evening event.
All individuals who attend the afternoon conference are welcome to join us at the 5 p.m. reception and stay for the evening DeVos Medical Ethics Colloquy.
