Community Outreach
The Center of Bioethics and Humanities (CBH) is committed to provide opportunities for members at the CU Anschutz Campus, and our growing local, national and international public audiences to meaningfully engage with topics in bioethics and the health humanities.
Each year, CBH hosts numerous programs, lecture series, events, and art exhibits addressing topics relevant to health, health care, bioethics, public health, policy and the arts and humanities. All events are free and open to the public. To stay up-to-date on CBH events and programs, join our mailing list!
