BIOETHICS
WHAT IS BIOETHICS?
Bioethics was created out of a need to assist patients and their families during stressful health care issues. Mediators are called in to work with the people in conflict around care decisions, for doctors who are having trouble explaining procedures or diagnosis to a patient or their caregiver. This relatively new concept of patient care includes a set of ethics derived from shared moral values and the legal rules that govern the practice of modern medicine, as well as, the virtues of empathy, compassion and integrity.
Bioethical Mediators are specially trained to work with individuals surrounding their health care and life choice conflicts.
OUR PROGRAM
If you're like most people, you probably don't like to think about death. It's understandable - facing our own mortality can be a frightening prospect. However, making some simple preparations now can take away a lot of the stress and anxiety that comes with thinking about what happens after we die.
One of the best things you can do is to put together an advance directive. This document outlines your wishes for medical care and treatment in the event that you are unable to make decisions for yourself. It's an important step to take, especially if you have strong feelings about end-of-life care.
Outlining your wishes and executing an advance directive along with Powers of Attorney are examples of what you can do to prepare for death and dying. Niki can offer additional support and guidance through the process, both for the individual and for the family. Services like hers provide an important resource for those who are grappling with mortality. Taking some time to plan ahead can make a difficult situation much easier to bear.
