Three organizations sponsor the Center:

 

  • Fairview Health Services
  • HealthEast Care System
  • Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Paul Province

 

 

United by their commitments to social justice and shared history, our Sponsors created the Center in 1994 to enrich reflection on the ethical dimensions of clinical, organizational, and health policy decision making. In the mid-1800s the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet began developing extensive health care and educational ministries in the Twin Cities and around the world. In 1853 and 1887 they founded hospitals now part of Fairview Health Services and HealthEast Care System. The Center's overarching concern for social justice stems directly from its Sponsors' commitments.
