Family Network Steering Committee Member & Family Advisor
Children’s Healthcare Canada & Alberta Children’s Hospital
Pam is a proud mama of 3 and resides in Calgary, Alberta. In 2014 when her second child was born prematurely with complex medical needs, Pam’s life quickly changed as she was thrown into a world she wasn’t familiar with. Through that experience, Pam was asked to become a peer mentor volunteer at the Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH) and since then has developed a passion for patient and family centred care, the value of sharing the lived experience and supporting families who are beginning a journey with a medical child.
Pam was a part of the ACH Family Advisory Council from 2017-2023, serving as the co-chair for 3 years. She also sits on many other committees and has several volunteer roles including a Parent Partner with the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation, member of the ACH NICU Parents in Partnership Care Committee, sits on the ACH Safety Council, is an integral part of the ACH Family to Family Connections program and most recently accepted a role as a paid Family Mentor at the Alberta Children's Hospital. She has been a part of the CHC Family Steering Committee since 2022.
When she’s not busy with her kids and passions above, Pam loves spending time with family and friends, trail running, getting out in nature and works full time.
