Sister Nadine Sheehan, OP

Healer
Sister Nadine Sheehan, OP

Caring for the medical needs of the poor has formed the basis of much of Sister Nadine’s ministry as a nurse practitioner. Her work took her to Kentucky, focusing on helping the rural poor get proper medical attention. Among her efforts was to help start the Carter Health Awareness Program in Carter County to assist the elderly and working poor who needed medical services.

More recently, she served at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital (now Henry Ford Hospital) in Macomb County, Michigan, where she helped develop, manage and serve in the Neighbors Caring for Neighbors Clinic to provide free health care to poor persons who were under-served, under-insured and uninsured.

Dear Sister Carl Edward (Sister Nadine Sheehan) God bless you, your work and community of sisters! I was one of your 5th grade students at St. Rita School in Chicago 1962/1963. We had the opportunity to have lunch together in Detroit a number of years ago. Prayers are said for you. john meehan
