Clinical Ethics Consultation
Our Clinical Ethics Service offers a team approach, with a review of selected consults at our regular HEC meetings. Consultation is available to our patients, family members, and to members of the team caring for them. To make a consult request, please call 919-843-1470. Arlene Davis and Gary Gala provide leadership for the Service and Committee. The Committee also provides general advice for the Ethics Committees throughout UNC Health.
The consultation service requires the dedicated efforts of our lead consultant (LC) group. Like membership on the HEC, the lead consultants are a diverse group of faculty and staff members who volunteer their time to the complex work of consultation, assisted by HEC members who serve on our general consult team.

The Clinical Ethics Service is working to grow its capacity to offer ethics consultation at each UNC Hospital’s campus: the Medical Center, the Hillsborough Hospital, the Youth Behavioral Health Hospital, and the Hospice Center.
UNC Hospital Affiliates
UNC Health is a growing system with a number of affiliate hospitals, each with its own ethics services. Our HEC and Clinical Ethics Service offers support to HECs within the system.
Clinical Ethics Case Discussion Group
This forum provides an opportunity for Hospital Ethics Committee members across UNC Health to come together to discuss case consultation topics and methods. These one-hour virtual sessions, by registration only, feature de-identified cases from any of our hospitals’ ethics committees.
If you would like to participate in this group, please reach out via email to Anissa_Berger@med.unc.edu.
