In a culture that often measures human worth by independence and productivity, the Christian vision of medicine calls us to see every person as created in the image of God and deserving of compassionate care.
Join us for an evening with Dr. Kristin Collier and Dr. Charles Camosy as they explore what it means to practice medicine faithfully in a time of moral and spiritual challenge.
Dr. Kristin Collier, a practicing physician and nationally recognized voice on faith and medicine, will open the evening.
Dr. Charles Camosy, author of Living and Dying Well: A Christian Plan for Resisting Physician-Assisted Killing, will address the growing acceptance of physician-assisted suicide and offer a Christian response.
This event is open to the public and especially relevant for physicians, nurses, and all healthcare professionals. Together, we’ll reflect on how to live and serve well—to the very last breath.
