Regional Centre for Excellence in Ethics (RCEE)

The Regional Centre for Excellence in Ethics (RCEE) at Homewood Health Centre was established in April 2002. The Centre is dedicated to providing ethics support and services to regional health care organizations. A non-profit and self-sustaining Centre, it provides leading-edge ethics education, consultation and policy review services to its member organizations.

Organizations which are members of the Centre include Guelph General Hospital, Groves Memorial Community Hospital, Cambridge Memorial Community Hospital, Waterloo Wellington CCAC, Headwaters Health Care Centre, North Wellington Health Care Corporation, Wellington Terrace, Oakwood Retirement Communities Inc. and Homewood Health Centre.

Member organizations receive ethical guidance in all moral matters - from organizational ethical issues to front-line clinical decisions. The RCEE support and services are also available for patients and their families who often struggle with making difficult decisions.
