New funding, appointments in health science ethics
Three exciting announcements with our work in health care ethics:
1. Kathy Kinlaw and Karen Trotochaud received funding with Dr. Pamela Bachanas, Psychiatry, and Dr. Nicolas Krawiecki, Pediatrics, to develop and pilot test an advance care planning guide for health care professionals and families of children with life-limiting illness. The funding begins in October 2003. We believe this work will provide a unique contribution to national efforts in palliative and end of life care for children. The grant is award by the Emory Medical Care Foundation.
2. Rallying Points, a program of the national RWJ Last Acts coaltion, has awarded a grant to fund strategic planning for the statewide work in End of Life Care, of which the Center is a lead partner in a statewide partnership of organizations committed to improving end-of-life care. The Rallying Points certificate will bring Dr. Dan Tobin, from the Life Institute in Albany, NY and Kathy Brandt, from the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, to Georgia to work with our statewide partnership in determining strategic direction for our effort in the state. Dr. Tobin's emphasis is on integrating end of life care conversations into mainstream medicine.
3. Kathy Kinlaw has been appointed to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development’s Committee on Ethics and Genetics. Kinlaw will serve as a part of a new committee addressing Genomics and Ethics for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. In this role she will work with other ethicists in reviewing documents and proposals to the Institute.
