Contagious diseases – from measles to Ebola – are
prominent in the news, nationwide. Fauquier Hospital, along with every other
healthcare facility in the U.S., must consider the welfare of healthcare
workers as well as the safety of patients and their families.
A panel of experts will examine “The Ethics of Care in the Face of Communicable
Diseases,” from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15, in Fauquier
Hospital’s Sycamore Room. The public is invited to attend the discussion.
Dr. Elizabeth Martin, chairman of the Bioethics Committee
at Fauquier Health, will discuss the
ethical issues involved. Dr. Cee Ann Davis, former director of the
Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District of the Virginia Department of Health, will
address questions surrounding communicable diseases.
Lunch will be served. Please contact Kim Vest at 316-4730
or vestk@fauquierhealth.org to reserve your space.
