Abstract: Abstract The employee of a nonprofit community hospital is put in a tough spot when her personal connections get in the way of her professional ethics. This case deals with the ethical dilemma that arises when individuals must determine whether to disclose privileged or private information to protect the organization’s integrity, even if it means compromising personal loyalties. Handy and Russell urge readers to consider the ethical challenges that arise when employees allow personal entanglements to get too close to their professional life, and how to navigate, mitigate, and—hopefully—avoid such situations, using ethical frameworks and the road map to ethical decision-making as a guide.
