For years, Camara poured her heart into caring for others—until life reminded her that she needed care, too.🩵
Camara’s nursing journey began at a local hospital, where she helped launch school-based health center, and assisted with mobile health unit programs as a charge nurse and health coach for children with chronic conditions. Life changes pulled Camara away from nursing to balance parenting her three children with becoming a full-time caregiver to her mother during her battle with brain cancer.
After navigating seasons of personal loss and exploring different remote work opportunities, Camara has found her home at a Central Ohio Primary Care pediatric practice. What makes COPC different for her isn’t just the patients she serves—it’s the culture of teamwork and support that allows her to thrive both professionally and personally.
“In past roles, I often felt overworked and exhausted. Here, I don’t feel that way. I can go home and still be the mom I want to be, not just a tired nurse at the end of the day,” she shares. At COPC’s Eastglen Pediatrics, she feels supported both as a professional and as a person. “Here, I’m not just seen as a nurse. I’m seen as a mom, a teammate, and an individual,” she shares. The culture of teamwork—where colleagues rally around one another—has restored her work-life balance and allowed her to bring her best self home to her family. She is grateful to be able to be there for her oldest son to move him into college, and being more present at her family’s many sports and church activities in the evenings and weekends.
That support has reignited Camara’s passion for pediatrics. In her role, she provides care for children of all ages, educates parents, and builds trusted relationships that last as kids grow up. “Even on hard days, I want to come back the next morning. Primary care is where my passion is, and this is what I do,” she says.
For Camara, COPC is more than a workplace—it’s a community that values her as a nurse, a teammate, and a person. 💙
