The Journal of Hospital Ethics

The Center for Ethics at MedStar Washington Hospital Center publishes The Journal of Hospital Ethics (JOHE) three times a year. As clinical ethics experts in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding metro area, the Center for Ethics develops, promotes and maintains the highest standards in clinical ethics knowledge. We answer ethically challenging questions raised in a clinical setting and assist health care staff, administration, patients and families in making sound medical decisions.

The Journal of Hospital Ethics is a partner journal of The American Society for Bioethics & Humanities (ASBH). Please visit JOHE’s associated web page on the ASBH site, and learn more about this year’s ASBH conference by following the links below:
