Charleston, SC (Law Firm Newswire) May 4, 2020 – Catherine Meehan, an attorney with the Steinberg Law Firm, joined the MUSC College of Nursing Board of Directors. The position offers an opportunity for Meehan to act as a community leader at MUSC, which ranks sixth in the nation among nursing programs.
Before entering law school, Meehan distinguished herself in the medical field. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Notre Dame and then proceeded to the Medical University of South Carolina where she received a B.S. in Nursing. She worked at MUSC as a pediatric nurse for three years before law school.
As a member of the Board of Directors, Meehan will serve a three-year term, contribute financially to the school and advise the school on strategies to increase community engagement. She will assist the Dean and Director of Development with individuals, corporations or foundations who are potential sources of support.

Her passion for law and medicine led her to the Steinberg Law Firm. The firm concentrates on individuals who have suffered injuries at work or injuries outside of work. Meehan’s background in nursing helps her understand the medical issues that arise in personal injury lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims and makes her a valuable member of the Steinberg Law Firm’s team.
