Pamela Corcoran has a 35+ year career as a planner/manager for social benefit and proprietary organizations. During her academic study, she received a US Public Health Service Traineeship (now called USPHS Commissioned Officer Student Training Corps) and a Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Fellowship to fund skill development at the intersection of community health and social justice. For 20 years, she served as an unpaid family caregiver for her mother and grandmother, who were afflicted with cancer. Since 2022, she too has navigated a cancer diagnosis with a hereditary biomarker. Her experience with community engagement, finance delivery systems, patient care services, and clinical trials informs her expertise. She is incredibly proud of her two years of national service as a VISTA (Volunteer in Service to America) member (2019 to 2021) and its focus on addressing the root causes of poverty in our country. In 2023, Corcoran was appointed as a National Consumer Scholar by the Camden Coalition. She is a Dempsey Center for Cancer Care’s Client Advisory Board member and volunteers as a policy and regulatory advocate with AARP ME, Maine Women’s Lobby, and Maine Equal Justice. Corcoran lives in a small town of less than 7,000 folks on unceded Penobscot Nation land in rural Maine.
