Virtual event - Online on Zoom

Join us for this virtual event featuring a panel discussion with experts who will speak about the impact of religious directives that dictate the kinds of care that healthcare facilities that are owned or affiliated with religious institutions can and cannot deliver to their patients. With the rise in mergers between secular community hospitals and religious hospitals, more and more people are being denied the care that they are otherwise lawfully able to obtain. State legislation that is currently pending would mandate that these institutions make existing and prospective patients aware of what kind of care they can and cannot receive at these healthcare facilities so that they can plan their care, but too often, there are no alternative healthcare facilities they can easily access nearby.

Come hear experts discuss the impact of these religious exclusions on reproductive healthcare, end-of-life care, care for transgender individuals, and more at this important event, including actions you can take to impact these issues.
