Center for Health Ethics

The UC Irvine Center for Health Ethics was created to explore and address important, challenging, and timely ethical issues related to the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities, and populations. The Center will examine such concepts as health equity, social justice, and human flourishing, and consider what socioeconomic structures and institutions are needed to address existing health disparities and inequities. The Center will also support critical analysis of different modes of moral reflection, and consider how such frameworks help us understand particular health practices and policies.
