69th General Convention: D108

Sponsored by NEAC

Resolved, the House of Deputies concurring, that this 69th General Convention direct the Presiding Bishop and the Executive Council, in light of the strains upon the health care system exerted by the AIDS epidemic, to direct the Washington D.C. office of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America to adopt a strategy to advocate for all persons suffering from illness by creating appropriate levels of cost-effective health care. For example, hospices and alternative health care facilities.
