Moral decisions may arise as Sacred Heart Health System expands
NORTHWEST
Kl'GKNE (AP) — The growing
influence of the Sacred Heart
Health System in this Willamette
Valley community has given rise
to questions about a health
provider's right to make moral
decisions that affect its patients
Until recently, doctors and
patients accepted without complaint the position that
the private hospital has every right to disallow medi< ai
procedures deemed immoral by the Roman Catholic
Church
Rut as Sacred Heart plans to absorb the largest group
medical practices in Lane County, some doctors and
patients are questioning the hospital's right to apply its
religious standards to the secular community
"If they are going to stay in health care and play the
wav the big hoys play in the health c are industry, they
art* going to have to answer these questions." said med
ical ethicist lames Nelson of the Hastings Center, a New
York-based institute for the study of bioethics
The dilemma came into the spotlight earlier this month
when Sister Monica Heoran. president of the Sen red Heart
organization, rejected a plan by doctors that would have
allowed them to continue performing abortions at their
clinic after it merges with Sacred Heart
The Catholic: hospital does not offer abortions and does
not allow its physicians to perform abortions while they
are on duty as its employees
Bill Sheppard, executive dire* tor of Planned Parent
hood Services of Southwestern Ort^cin, said Sac rad I h>art
has .1 broader responsibility to the i ornmunity to ensure
that a full range of services are available
They have a responsibility to respect the doctor patient
relationship and the doctor's judgment of what services
tire nei t-ssary," Sheppard salt!
“'ll I ms nines a critical issue when you have tin institu
tion like Sat red Heart that is starting down the road of
controlling 70 percent of the health care market." he said.
Sat red Heart General Hospital in Eugene already pro
vides about tt percent of the hospital services in l ane
County Sacred Heart will provide a similar portion of
outpatient care after mergers with tin* Eugene Clinic,
the Oregon Medi< al Group and Women's ( are and oth
er specialty clinics
