Pamela Heinrich MacPherson has been a community advocate for end-of-life care for over three decades. In 1964, Pam graduated from the Jeanne Mance School of Nursing, where she was drawn to end-of-life care issues. She later received training as a Hospice Volunteer and served as Hospice Volunteer Coordinator for the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle County (VNA) from 1988-2004, a position to which she brought passion and dedication.
Retirement from the VNA in 2004 allowed Pam to give more time and energy to community resources related to quality care at the end of life. In her volunteer role, sitting vigil with dying individuals holds life’s deepest meaning for her. She recently published a book of poetry written about these experiences: Vigil: The Poetry of Presence. As a founding member of VNA’s Madison-Deane Initiative (MDI), her involvement has spanned two decades. MDI is an organization that seeks to change the face of dying through education of the general public, as well as of healthcare professionals.
