Northern Light Inland Hospital welcomes rheumatologist Dr. Sheena Henry to Northern Light Rheumatology in Waterville.

Henry earned her medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and her undergraduate degree from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. She is board-certified in internal medicine and rheumatology, according to a news release from Kathy Jason with the hospital.

Henry provides rheumatologic evaluation and treatment services for a wide spectrum of rheumatologic diseases: ankylosing spondylitis, calcium pyrophosphate disease (CPPD), gout, inflammatory eye disease, inflammatory muscle disease (ex. Dermatomyositis), lupus and other related autoimmune conditions, osteoarthritis joint injections, osteoporosis, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), psoriatic arthritis, Raynaud’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and vasculitis.

“I treat my patients with the same passion and caliber as I would for a family member. I value the long-term relationships I have the privilege of developing with my patients. Also, my particular specialty allows me to provide interventions that get people back to enjoying their life — back to golfing or gardening, back to starting a family, back to traveling, etc. The greatest satisfaction comes when my patient’s condition is so well controlled that their treatment/disease is an afterthought in their day-to-day lives,” said Henry.
