A Welcome Message from the Director

Lakehead University Centre for Health Care Ethics (CHCE) has a strategic mission to foster high quality, ethical health care through research, education, and capacity building. Supported by local and regional ethics champions, our interdisciplinary and multi-sector membership consists of academic and clinical organizations who are committed to excellence.

It is our long-term vision that people in Northern Ontario are well supported when faced with ethical decisions in health care. As a proud bioethics unit with the International Chair in Bioethics, the CHCE has a global presence in contemporary dialogues in bioethics.

Interested in ethics? We would be pleased to hear from you! Please be in touch if you would like to learn more!

We offer individual and organizational memberships to support high quality practice. We facilitate Primary Care RNs and Internationally Educated Nurses with communities of practice across Northern Ontario. We are proud to host research affiliates with diverse and creative scholarship and research activities.

Kind regards,

Dr. Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio, PhD, RN
Director, Centre for Health Care Ethics
