Pamela James is a board-certified Advanced Oncology Practitioner who worked with Birmingham Hematology-Oncology in the early 90’s as a nurse. Pam on what inspires her to work with cancer patients:
“My inspiration and motivation come from a pact I made with my Heavenly Father many years ago after finishing my national boards. This pledge placed a calling on my life to work in the specialty of Hematology/Oncology. I have a deep passion to help and heal the hurting of Oncology patients (physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally). This is a gift that was given to me, which I will not trade for anything.”
