Welcome to the Nevada Center for Ethics & Health Policy
Thank you for visiting the Nevada Center for Ethics & Health Policy (NCEHP) website. As a UNR statewide program, NCEHP is an educational resource to students, professionals and consumers about current issues ranging from pain management, embryonic stem cell research, genetics, organ donation, resource allocation, assisted suicide, ethical decision making, end of life care, and others.
NCEHP sponsors the University's Health Care Ethics (HCE) program which consists of a Minor (18 credits) and a Graduate Certificate in Bioethics (14 credits). The fields of health care, gerontology, science, health administration, public health, education, business, law, and government are increasingly aware of and interested in health care ethics.
NCEHP has partnered with the NV Secretary of State Office in offering a free online repository for Advance Directives at LivingWillLockbox.com.
In addition, the Nevada Multicultural Coalition is a secondary organization of NCEHP located in Southern Nevada whose mission is to provide a forum for organizations and community leaders to improve access and education on end of life health care services for diverse multicultural communities.
