Terms of Use
Values in Care is an independent, non-commercial educational research project. Using Values in Care means you agree to the terms below.
Values in Care is an independent research and educational project serving patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, chaplains, and other care partners. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, reviewed by, or representing any employer, health system, payer, religious institution, interfaith body, or other organization unless a specific relationship is explicitly documented.
Not advice
Nothing on Values in Care is medical, legal, spiritual, or financial advice, and no clinician-patient or counseling relationship is established by using it. For decisions about your care, consult your physician, palliative or hospice team, and (if it matters to you) your own faith leader, chaplain, or humanist celebrant.
Educational use
Content (excluding logos, third-party data, and external resources) is made available under CC BY-NC 4.0. You may share and adapt with attribution for non-commercial educational purposes. Data and statistics remain the property of their respective sources.
No warranties
Content is provided as-is. Values in Care makes no warranties about accuracy, completeness, fitness for any particular purpose, or availability. Coverage is uneven across traditions and topics and is actively expanding.
Crisis resources are not substitutes for care
In a medical emergency call 911 (US) or your local emergency number. Crisis-line referrals here are pointers, not endorsements, and may change without notice.
