Ethics Committee
There may be times when you and your family will be faced with
difficult treatment choices. Our Ethics Committee is available as a
resource for information and advice and participates in the ethical
policy making process at St. Mary's Hospital. The Ethics Committee
guides, educates and assists members of the hospital, family,
patients, and caregivers as they confront difficult or in many
cases, painful decisions. The members of the committee can be
consulted when families or caregivers feel the need for
clarification of ethical issues.
A request to meet with the Ethics Committee can be made through
your physician or healthcare providers. If you have any ethical
concerns, please contact the Social Work Department at
973-365-4385.
