Overview

Catholic health care carries on the healing mission of Jesus and thus is a ministry of the Church with its core commitments grounded firmly in the Catholic theological tradition and in the Church's social teaching.

The Catholic Health Association has recommended that ethicists working in Catholic health care should hold an MA in Theology so that they may bring a solid understanding of Catholic theology to those struggling with the concrete questions that arise in health care today.
