All Sides with Ann Fisher - 3-14-2023 A - Impact of the Catholic church on healthcare
 
 
 
The Catholic Church has an increasingly dominant foothold in the healthcare landscape: Four of the nation's 10 largest health systems are now Catholic.

As the battle over abortion rights rages on in courts and state legislatures, patients are learning - sometimes the hard way - that their hospital may not offer the services they want.

It raises the question of who owns our hospitals and how does that impact health care?

Guests:

Jennifer Brown, journalist for the Colorado Sun
John F. Brehany, Executive Vice President and Director of Institutional Relations for the National Catholic Bioethics Center
Dr. Rachel Flink, chief of the Family Planning Division at Albany Medical Center
