Pam is an infectious disease specialist at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Much of her medical training took place in LA County’s Department of Health Services, and as such she is deeply committed to providing healthcare for LA’s safety-net populations. Her passion for climate work stems from knowing that patients like hers bear the brunt of the adverse effects of climate change and pollution, such as escalated health risks, economic challenges, and social disparities.
Pam’s overarching academic interest is the intersection of healthcare delivery and environmental sustainability, with specific focuses on infection prevention and control and diagnostic stewardship. She is an IDSA/SHEA 2023-2024 Leaders in Epidemiology, Antimicrobial Stewardship, and Public Health Fellow for her project “Quantifying the Environmental Impact of MRSA/VRE Contact Precautions in LA County”.
