Pam began her career in healthcare as a RN a little over 30 years ago. During the course of her RN career the majority of the time was spent as a home health nurse. “It’s from home health that my desire to become a nurse practitioner really started.” She completed her Bachelor’s degree in nursing in 2005 through University of Phoenix and her Family Nurse Practitioner through Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville in December of 2010. She began practicing as a family nurse practitioner in early 2011 and has been working in rural health ever since. Pam is from the Midwest, having lived in Illinois for most of her life, and her husband is from Southeast Iowa. So, coming to Sigourney was “perfect for my family.” When not working, Pam enjoys taking road trips, reading and spending time with her husband, son and extended family.
She enjoys seeing patients of all ages but her passion is for those patients with chronic health issues. At her last position, she practiced primary family care and worked alongside a Pulmonologist, gaining training and knowledge in Pulmonology. Here she will continue to provide family medical care for all ages, including women’s health, and treatment of chronic conditions. Pam has a caring and compassionate nature, preferring to take a holistic approach to medicine, where patients are an active participant in their own health care. “I believe all patients are equal and deserve the same attention and quality of care. I will work with you no matter what stage of health or life you are in.”
