From Sisters to Misters

Presentation by Professor Maureen AnthonyMcAuley School of Nursing, University of Detroit Mercy

Catholic Sisters have a long tradition of caring for the sick, suffering and dying. Sisters built the first permanent hospital in the United States in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1890, and by 1915, an astounding fifty percent of hospitals in the United States were run by Catholic Sisters.

The Sisters raised money, oversaw construction, staffed and administered hospitals without financial support from the Vatican or local diocese. The availability of health insurance and safer health care practices in the second half of the twentieth century led to increased demand for hospital care. The charitable model of the past was no longer viable.

Research conducted by Dr. Maureen Anthony explored the experiences of Catholic Sisters as they transitioned leadership to lay administrators, who were predominantly men. Included in the research is interview information provided by seventy Sisters, who were the last religious administrators of the hospital system.

Join us for a presentation by AAUW member, Dr. Maureen Anthony. Bring your friends.
