In July 2020 The Pellegrino Center launched a newsletter for medical professionals at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital (MGUH). This resource, created in collaboration with the MGUH Clinical Ethics Committee, supplements the Pellegrino Center’s Ethics Consultation Service by providing easily digestible, critical information as well as by responding to inquiries about issues in bioethics.

The Pellegrino Report was profiled in the April 2023 issue of Catholic Health World.
