I work for a catholic hospital system that is merging with several non-catholic smaller hospitals. It is interesting how some people see the catholic side as exciting and good but still others fear it. I've seen some people who are wanting to jump ship because they are afraid of the catholic judgment. Because they don't want to be involved with religion. I want to tell them that they are overreacting because very few people are motivated by catholic principles but at the same time, I totally understand. I've had a few conversations about religion and mostly not very heated.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I’d be concerned. I’ve seen Catholic hospitals make decisions based on dogma rather than science. Birth control, sterilization, pregnancy termination have all been impeded in Catholic hospitals, sometimes causing women to die.

There are some valid concerns about the policy but so far they have kept them separate. The secular hospitals have different policies from the catholic hospitals. At least for women's health and most things like that. What I believe they have affected is right to die or euthanasia. Still, I know that this happens daily unknown within the catholic side. In the actual rooms and with the actual patients there are conversations that are between doctors, staff and patients catholic leadership would not approve. Patients tend to get what they want if they want it bad enough and talk to the right people.
@CK-One good to hear, though it's unfortunate that they have to hide these things.
