New Rheumatologist joins Northern Light Rheumatology

Date: 09/27/2023

Northern Light Inland Hospital is excited to welcome rheumatologist Sheena Henry, MD, to Northern Light Rheumatology. 

Dr. Henry most recently practiced in Greenville, South Carolina. She 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 completed a fellowship in Rheumatology in Columbia, Missouri. She is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.

Dr 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/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,” says Dr. Henry. 

She adds, “I strive to have my patients feel that they are empowered to control their disease and understand the steps that are being taken in their care. Most of my medications require compliance for years if not lifelong; one of the biggest predictors of treatment/management success is when patients take ownership of their disease. If they feel comfortable with the plan and understand the significance/ramifications of their choices, they are more likely to have long-term success.”
