“During many years working with the attorneys at TRCG, I was always impressed not only with their professional expertise, but also with their understanding of, and commitment to, maintaining and supporting the Catholic identity of the Church's healthcare entities.”

- The Most Reverend Richard G. Lennon, Bishop of Cleveland

Catholic Identity Program

A Catholic hospital or healthcare system can compromise or even lose its Catholic identity through deficiencies in its controls, policies and procedures. TRCG's Catholic Identity Program undertakes a comprehensive review of your healthcare entity to identify civil legal risks to its Catholic identity and to offer you practical solutions to minimize the identified risks. TRCG will examine the following areas where Catholic hospitals and healthcare systems are at greatest risk of weakening or losing their Catholic identity:

• Corporate Bylaws
• Medical Staff Bylaws
• Board Election/Appointment Process
• Vendor Contracts
• Clinical Research Programs
• Affiliation Agreements
• Joint Ventures
• Employment Contracts
• Management Agreements
• Policies and Procedures

Following this examination, TRCG will make recommendations as to actions that can be taken to protect and enhance your healthcare organization's Catholic identity.
