Moral Distress Support
Moral distress is a growing concern for health care professionals and organizations during COVID-19. It is a harm that we can’t see that arises when care providers feel trapped in a compromise that undermines their sense of ethical integrity.
If you would like support in you or your team’s experience of moral distress, please contact us.
Key Resources
Our Commitment to Ethical Integrity is the Covenant Health code of conduct. It has been developed in tandem with a policy established by our Board of Directors to support a statement on organizational conduct that applies to the entire Covenant Health team—Board members, staff, physicians and volunteers.
The Health Ethics Guide is a foundational resource used by Covenant Health. Hard copies are available to Covenant Health staff, contact us to request one.
