13 | More Than Skill Sets and Specialties, a Willing Heart On Mission Trips | Rory Sweeny McGovern, RN, EdD, MEd, MA

This is episode number 13, our season finale, and today we’re talking to a long-time capracare friend and former co-chair of the CapraCare Health Care Committee, Rory Sweeny McGovern. Rory served in health care for over 35 years. She has held Nursing Education Administrative positions in several tri-state major safety net medical centers. She has worked all this time in underserved tertiary care hospital systems directing the operations of nursing education in the 5 NY city boroughs, Newark, NJ, and Bridgeport, CT. Her staff, student, and patient population represented racially diverse inner cities.  She has been a presenter and moderator for numerous conferences and symposiums throughout the tri-state area. She has been a keynote speaker for multiple Nursing graduations in NY and CT. Currently, she is an Education Consultant for Epicare in NJ servicing a diverse mental health population. Prior to working in healthcare, she was an elementary school teacher in CT. She is a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, a Board Director for the TC Nursing Education Alumni Association (TCNEAA), and a member of the TCNEAA Nursing Hall of Fame. She was inspiring and encouraging and I cannot wait for you all to dive into our conversation. Here we go!
