Clinical Ethics

St. Luke's Nursing and Patient Care Center of Excellence supports clinical ethics throughout the organization by developing policy initiatives, providing ethics education, supporting research, and facilitating ethics consults. Anyone may request a consult – patients, families, doctors, nurses, social workers, or any other member of a patient’s health care team. 

Our trained ethicists help resolve ethical dilemmas in all aspects of patient care and may assist with a variety of complex patient care issues, including:

  • End-of-life concerns including advance directives and withholding or withdrawing medical interventions
  • Considerations specific to life-sustaining treatment and do not resuscitate (DNR) orders
  • Questions about surrogate decision-making
  • Indecision or conflict surrounding medical decisions and goals of care
  • Moral distress and moral uncertainty
