HALO

The mission of the Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization is to promote, protect, and advocate for the rights of the medically vulnerable through direct patient and family interactions; through community education and awareness programs; and through promotion and development of concrete “life-affirming healthcare"* alternatives for those facing the grave consequences of healthcare rationing and unethical practices, especially those at risk of euthanasia and assisted suicide.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

HALO owes a debt of gratitude to Ralph A. Capone, M.D., and Ron Panzer, President of Hospice Patients Alliance, for assistance in fine-tuning these life-affirming ethical principles.

The inherent dignity of each human being demands a consistent and deep respect for life – regardless of age, disease, or disability. Sadly, medicine, law, and society have embraced a morally reprehensible ethic to rationalize immoral medical actions and omissions intended to cause death. The culture of death has seeped into the healthcare system under the guise of false compassion. The resultant assault on human life is morally wrong and never justifiable.

This “Code of Ethics for Healthcare Providers” consists of 10 essential principles that recall the ancient oath to inflict no harm, respect life, provide the best available medical care, and protect all patients from injustice. Read More.
