care, the Catholic Health Association is offering a monthly series of webinars
to address and clarify critical ethical issues in caring for patients and
families in Catholic hospitals, long-term care facilities and medical centers
nationwide.
Each 45-minute session

Disability Bioethics: A
Resource for Catholic Health Care
Wednesday, March 4,
2026
1:00 – 1:45 p.m.
ET
This presentation will consider how the developing field
of disability bioethics might resonate with the mission and commitments of
Catholic health care. Illustrating how broader trends in medicine, technology,
and health care policy often adopt and perpetuate negative framings of
disability, it will suggest that disability bioethics and resources from
Catholic social teaching together offer more complex and inclusive ways of
understanding health and human flourishing.
