Liz Sheehan

Biography

I am an advocate and investor in women's health. For 20 years, I worked in emergency rooms in NYC and rural Appalachia. . I saw firsthand how poverty and lack of education affected health outcomes. I gained a public health and policy degree later to improve the systems that deliver health care and the financing needed to improve the care. I worked for USAID in Mozambique, MSF and HALO Trust in Cambodia and Mozambique.
I founded a nonprofit social enterprise in 2010 to meet the healthcare needs post-earthquake in Haiti. Care2Communties continues to deliver care in 11 locations in northern Haiti, partnering with MOH and communities to bring a one-stop-shop model to communities offering lab and pharmaceuticals, primary care, and OB/GYN care. The employees are 98% Haitian. I was a founding member of C-_Impact and Roddenberry Health +1 Fund. I served on the board of Women Moving Millions, Threshold Foundation, Sheehan Family Foundation, and Network of Engaged International Donors.
