Pamela Liggins demonstrates exceptional compassion, leadership, advocacy, and her unwavering commitment to advancing nursing professional development across Advocate Health. Pam is an extraordinary nurse leader who consistently fosters an environment of growth, empowerment, and possibility. Her leadership is rooted in a profound belief in the potential of every team member, and she creates an inclusive, supportive culture where individuals feel valued, encouraged, and inspired to grow.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Pam’s leadership is her ability to guide others beyond their comfort zones. She consistently presents opportunities that challenge us to expand our skills and confidence, cultivating a team culture centered on curiosity, learning, and continuous improvement.

One of Pam’s team members shared:

“Pam has been instrumental in my professional development. She encourages me to explore new avenues and take on responsibilities that have significantly expanded my skill set. Her faith in my abilities has inspired me to push beyond my limits and embrace challenges I would have otherwise shied away from. Through her mentorship, I have gained invaluable experience and have learned to navigate complex situations with greater autonomy and confidence.”

Pam’s dedication to creating a supportive environment is reflected in her daily interactions. She listens attentively to our concerns and aspirations, offering thoughtful guidance and meaningful, actionable feedback.

Whether through workshops, seminars, or hands-on experiences, she ensures we have access to resources that strengthen our clinical competence while also inspiring us to think boldly and lead with confidence.

Most recently, Pam has led the Charlotte market through a transformational evolution in the way Nurse Orientation is delivered. This work requires extensive collaboration, change management, and coordination—not only within her direct team, but with hundreds of nurse leaders and NPD practitioners across the region.

A member of Pam’s team wrote:

“Pam has been instrumental in leading this transformation. She has collaborated extensively with Human Resources, accreditation teams, Point of Care leaders, unit managers, and NPD practitioners. Planning the logistics and sequencing of the new orientation model has required tremendous dedication, and Pam has managed this seamlessly. Even with daily changes, she meets with us regularly to strategize and adapt. She values our input, actively seeks our recommendations, and ensures that everyone has a voice by inviting us to vote on key decisions. Pam is a strong, creative, and thoughtful leader who considers every aspect of the process. She fosters an environment where each team member can thrive and grow.”
