In Her Own Words: Pam, Transplant Coordinator
In this segment, Pam Orsburn talks about her role as a transplant coordinator in the Stem Cell Transplant and Cell Therapy Unit at CTCA at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. A dedicated and compassionate clinician, Pam coordinates testing, answers patients’ questions and simply takes care of them like family.
Here, she explains how she helps coordinate the care of patients with blood cancers who receive treatment, including stem cell transplants. She also shares a memory of the first time she met Robbie, a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor.
"The first time I met Robbie, he was quiet, nervous, scared, and full of questions," recalls Pam. "I took a lot time with him. We sat, probably half an hour, and talked before we even started the IV. He was scared; he had another family member that also was diagnosed with cancer and so he was even more scared. We talked a lot and spent a lot of time together."
