Sr. Kathleen Quinn, PHJC

East Chicago, IN

I have the priveledge of ministering two days a week at Sojourner Truth House, Gary, IN.  The mission is to assist homeless and at risk women and their children.  I minister as an RN and see the needs of quality health care.  I have assisted many to apply for HIP 2: the Indiana plan vs. extending Medicaid in Indiana.  

I petitioned early in the decision process to get Indana to extend Medicaid, but to no avail and then assisted in challenging our Republican Govenor Pence to come up with assistance to the many persons in Indiana that need health care.  

Our religious community is also working diligently to get a just immigration law with reunification of families passed.  I am a co-chair of our immigration committee strengthening Advocacy, Education amd Prayer within our three communities: Sisters, Associates and Fiat Spiritus communities.
