Annual Shine Lecture: The Stop Shackling Project: Making an Impact for Patients' Rights

Boston University School of Public Health’s Center for Health Law, Ethics & Human Rights presents the annual Cathy Shine lecture. The lectureship honors the memory of Cathy Shine and her dedication to the rights of all those in need of care. This year’s program will focus on research and advocacy from the Stop Shackling Patients Coalition, which has changed the way incarcerated patients receive medical care in hospitals, leading hospitals to reject universal shackling policies and implement patient-centered, evidence-based individualized assessments.
