The Care Navigator is retained by clients, healthcare providers and corporations. This means that no compensation, referral fees or other financial rewards are received when The Care Navigator recommends companies or providers to assist in relevant or specific client situations. This eliminates all possibility of bias or preferential treatment for companies seeking to pay for business referrals and ensures that recommended companies are of similar ethical standards. Clients can be assured they are receiving services with the highest quality and ethical operating standards. In today's environment this is especially critical in situations where individuals and families are vulnerable.

Pamela grew up in a community that valued family, responsibility and high moral principles. Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1961, she grew up in a small neighborhood where generation after generation of families raised their children and remained for many years. It was easy to know who lived in each house on each street. The church was the anchor of the community and a place where everyone gathered on weekends after mass at the bake sale to have coffee and visit. There were two small corner grocery stores that sold penny candy and two bars, or "beer joints" as they were called back then, where men gathered to play cards and watch television. Her mother, Rose, was the caregiver of the family and because of this Pamela often found herself in the company of older family members; aunts, uncles and grandparents.

hrswbuttonPamela D. Wilson will bring passion and enthusiasm to your next meeting or conference by combining humor, real life stories and practical information. She is a uniquely qualified speaker, author and educator on a variety of topics related to aging, caregiving and pitfalls of the long term care system.

Her personal experience with the loss of both parents at an early age combined with ten years of professional experience working with families and individuals allows her to speak with compassion and empathy for the issues many individuals and caregivers face today in trying to navigate the health care system.
