The Provincial Health Ethics Network is a non-profit, non-partisan society that aims to promote discussion and action on ethical issues in health and health care. Unique in its mandate, size and scope in Canada (and possibly the world), it is funded primarily by the provincial government and regional health authorities of the province of Alberta, Canada. It acts as a resource centre on health ethics, providing educational offerings and easy access to bioethics books, articles and videos for informing others and generating dialogue. The network works closely with the university-based health/medical ethics centres in the province to bridge the traditional gap between academia and those providing or accessing health care and to engage members of the public in informed dialogue about bioethics issues of relevance to all.
