“Pamela is more than a writer. She is a strategic thinker who is a valuable resource when creating new programs and more. When the Foundation for Spirituality & Medicine invited CHANA to submit a proposal for a new program, she helped us craft the program structure, and we won the full grant award. Also, when CHANA received this award at a public meeting, a member of the Grant Review Committee said our proposal was one of the best he had ever reviewed.”
