Panel 1: “Medical Mistrust”
Panel 2: “The Threat to Not-for-Profit Hospitals”
Moderated by Myles N. Sheehan, SJ, MD, Director, Pellegrino Center for Clinical Bioethics; David Lauler Chair of Catholic Health Care Ethics and Professor of Medicine, Georgetown University Medical Center
The 2023 Pellegrino Symposium features two separate panels addressing topics which concerned Dr. Edmund D. Pellegrino deeply, both related to public perceptions of medical institutions and professionals. The first panel examines medical mistrust, engendered in patients and caregivers alike by experiences like systemic and localized injustice and inequity. The second panel addresses the threat to not-for-profit hospitals coming from market forces. During his life and in his prolific work, Dr. Pellegrino foresaw many of the challenges that each of these issues would present. This year’s symposium challenges us to continue these important conversations by confronting these urgent issues.
