Nurses’ Health Study participant Gail Sipe names study in her estate plans
As a nurse practitioner for the San Diego school system for 33 years, Gail Sipe dedicated her career to caring for students in varied settings and capacities. In all, she held 13 positions that spanned every grade level and multiple programs until retiring 10 years ago at the age of 72.
In the many roles she held—from launching new projects and programs to writing and securing grants—Gail was enthusiastic about embracing possibility and effecting change in healthcare. This eagerness to chart new territory was evident throughout her long career, including when she served as the nurse practitioner for San Diego’s first charter school that largely accommodated underserved students with educational, mental, and physical health challenges.
