The organization welcomes active and retired physicians, dentists, medical residents, nurses, allied health professionals, clergy, and seminarians who are committed to advancing Catholic bioethics. Through expert presentations, educational conferences, and collaborative discussions, the Association helps medical professionals in the Williamsville area understand Church teachings on contemporary issues including life, death, health technology, and the vocation of physicians. The organization also provides a supportive community where healthcare professionals can find guidance on ethical questions and connect with peers who share their commitment to practicing medicine in harmony with Catholic values.
