What We Do

We engage with the general public, hospital patients and staff to help provide consultations and guidance with day to day health care inquiries. We are available to help on both a professional and public level to assist the understanding of options, choices, and decisions within a health care setting. We also help with education programs (both for the public and hospital staff). Furthermore, we continually help the advancement of Ethics as a whole with research, awareness and advisement.

Who We Serve

The Institute for Ethics provides education, research, clinical care and community outreach - to provide New Mexicans with the highest level of health care.
