Congratulations to our Heath Buddy Volunteer, Pamela Roberts, who was honored as a 2024 Heroes Among Us Congressional Award Winner, which recognizes the men and women who positively impact Florida’s 12th District through volunteerism, good deeds, and going above and beyond to serve others.
Pamela was a nurse for many years. Once she retired, she continued to be extremely active as a volunteer. However, she began to lose her vision and her options of volunteering in the community became limited. That’s when she found Health Buddies. Now, she uses the compassion and health knowledge she gained as a nurse to help isolated seniors who have a chronic condition. Through weekly telephone calls, Pamela provides encouragement and health coaching to empower her clients to improve their well-being.
Thank you to U.S. Representative Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) for bringing this event to Pasco County and giving us a chance to honor volunteers like Pamela, who is a shining light for isolated seniors in Pasco County.
