Hospital Ethics Committee

The Hospital Ethics Committee (HEC) is a multidisciplinary committee that includes members from the UK hospitals, as well as the VA Medical Center. The HEC continues to be a standing committee that reports to the Medical Staff Executive Committee (MSEC). The main charges of the HEC are to review or generate policy, as well as run the Clinical Ethics Consult Service. The HEC meets the first Monday of each month. To recommend an agenda item for discussion, or to inquire about membership, please contact the Chair or the Co-Chair. To request a clinical ethics consult, page the Clinical Ethics Consult Service at (859) 330-0365 or request your consult via email.
