HDGH provides Ethics Consultation Services to our staff, patients, and their families. Ethics Consultation Services assist patients, families, hospital staff, physicians, volunteers, and students on a wide range of ethical issues across the lifespan. Frequently encountered issues include value conflicts around decisions such as withholding or withdrawing treatment, consent and capacity, substitute decision-making, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders, patient discharges, resource allocation, and organizational ethics. If you have questions or concerns that you feel would benefit from an ethics consult, please contact our Patient Advocate at extension 74404 or Patient.Advocate@hdgh.org to arrange services.
