WEBCAST

7-8 a.m.
“The Board’s Responsibility for Ethical Policy-Making”
Over the years WSHA has presented speakers to assist board members
think about the ethical aspects of the tough decisions they must
make. Johnny Cox, former ethicist at Sacred Heart Medical Center
and Children’s Hospital, Spokane, presented at an annual meeting many
years ago and Fr. William Sullivan, retired President of Seattle
University, gave an outstanding speech at the Trustee Breakfast in
October 2003.
The challenges of governance are certainly not any less complex in 2010
than they were in 2003. Surveys of Washington hospital board
members indicate continued interest in learning how to think through
the ethical aspects of their decision-making. With that in mind,
WSHA invites you to a web cast March 26, 2010. Please note:
this web cast begins at 7 a.m.
Nurse, lawyer, ethicist Kate Payne, Director of Ethics at Saint Thomas
Hospital, Nashville, will discuss the increasing and increasingly
complicated ethical challenges board members face today. A broader view
of business obligation is needed - beyond what is legal or rights based.
Society grants corporations the right to exist. In turn, what
obligations do corporations have to sustain and enhance human
existence? What is the board's role? What infrastructure is
needed to meet such ethical obligations?
