In 1999 Davis began working with the Partners AIDS Research Center at MGH, dealing with community outreach and HIV treatment in South Africa.
In 2003, Sheila Davis and Chris Shaw from MGH founded Sibusiso, a Boston-based, non-profit organization that helps provide medical support to communities in South Africa. Originally focusing on malnutrition and rural nursing clinics, its programs expanded to support HIV/AIDS patients in areas with poor healthcare access. Sibusiso was active in South Africa from 2004-2010.
As one of the first twenty Carl Wilkens fellows selected by the Genocide Intervention Network, in 2009, Davis represented 12 million nurses. She advocates for human rights, social justice and protection from genocide, emphasizing the important role that can be played by nurse practitioners.
