Medical Ethics in a COVID Aware World: Listening Session Series

The HCH community has faced increased incidences of ethical dilemmas during and since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Patients and clients experiencing homelessness have been rapidly placed into temporary housing such as Project Roomkey sites, and or emergency shelters, which has strained our ability to care and has challenged services providers. With these challenges, new sets of ethical dilemmas have arisen such as how to care with individuals who refuse to accept the vaccine, which has significantly disrupted the continuum of care. The National Health Care for the Homeless Council will host interactive listening sessions from November 17th, 2021 to January 14th, 2022 to discuss ethics in the COVID-19 era. Topics include vaccine hesitancy, emergency shelter facilities, clinical care, and trauma and moral injury. 

We encourage health centers to join in groups of 2 or more for discussion, and collaboration, with our expert facilitators. Given how HCH health centers have stood on the frontlines of COVID-19, these sessions will act as moments of reflection and growth as they transition to the latter stages of the Covid era. From these sessions, attendees will learn about the challenges and success of care to our participants during this time.
