We at the Minnesota Center for Health Care Ethics contribute to the development and methodology of the field of health care ethics and create multidisciplinary projects in which scholarship and hands-on experience mutually inform one another. We catalyze constructive collaborations among diverse, and sometimes competing, health care organizations and interests.
