FFRF warns Washington about Catholic hospital takeover

Soon almost half of Washington's hospital beds will be under the control of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' directives. Catholic medical care is obligated to abide by the "Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services." Over a quarter of the counties in the state will have no remaining secular hospitals. This means it will be much harder or impossible for patients to find local hospitals willing to provide a full range of health care.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a national state/church watchdog based in Madison, Wis., with 19,000 members including over 1,000 members in Washington state, sent a letter on June 24 warning government officials and Washington medical and hospital associations about the health care crisis. FFRF also contacted eight secular medical institutions that are in the process of considering or have recently affiliated with Catholic organizations.

Swedish Medical Center, Seattle's largest nonprofit health care provider, recently affiliated with the Catholic organization Providence Health and Services. Three major hospitals in the state's northwest corner (Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon, Island Hospital in Anacortes, and Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington) are also considering affiliating with Providence, or PeaceHealth, another Catholic organization.

Citizens in Washington are swiftly losing access to constitutionally protected forms of medical care as Catholic organizations restrict "morally bankrupt" procedures, placing dogma and church doctrine above patient care. This takeover is resulting in inadequate access and treatment for conception, contraception, abortion, miscarriage, voluntary sterilization and end-of-life care. It may also lead to discrimination based on marital status or sexual orientation.
