When Stephen Sandlund ’05, M.S.N. ’13 treats injured, traumatized, or sick patients in hospitals around the globe, he is constantly aware of how the Great Physician wants to work in the midst of his service. As Denise Martin ’87 serves her young patients and their families at Dayton Children’s Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, she invites future nurses from Cedarville’s School of Nursing to observe and learn how their careers can have eternal significance. Over the course of 20 years, Lois Baker, Senior Professor Emerita of Nursing, tirelessly led teams of nursing students to Togo not only to care for physical needs, but to see patients’ lives transformed through using nursing as a ministry for Christ. These stories represent hundreds of sacrificial servants who are graduates and faculty of the Cedarville School of Nursing. FAITHFUL ON THE FRONTLINE Stephen Sandlund ’05, M.S.N. ’13 serves as a nurse practitioner with his dad’s family practice office and in the emergency room at Genesis Hospital, both in Zanesville, Ohio. While he regularly goes the extra mile to serve his patients, he also goes the extra thousands of miles to treat the shellshocked, the wounded, and the seriously ill as part of a Samaritan’s Purse disaster relief team. This summer, he spent a month in Chernivtsi, a city in western Ukraine, serving refugees running from the horrors of war and treating locals with long-term healthcare needs.
