Called to Be the Person Who Cares: An Interview with Pamela Morrison
Episode 12
Tuesday, 4 August, 2026

Pamela Morrison grew up, as she puts it, "poor without knowing it". As far as she was concerned, she had plenty - friends of all ethnicities, two parents at home, and a supportive community. These strong bonds prompted her to give back to her community as a social worker, perhaps a common story, except for Pamela's distinct longevity. In a field known for burnout, her commitment to social work endured for 35 years, and after a brief retirement, she worked at a prominent nonprofit for another 12 years. Pamela tried again to retire, but "found it boring". She became CEO of Mercy Center of Arizona instead, a trauma‑informed reentry program offering IOP services, vocational development, on‑site medical care, and housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. Throughout this episode, Pamela shares the secrets behind her steadfastness as a person who is called to care for others. One secret in particular? Don't forget why you do what you do. Wisdom and encouragement abound in this episode, so bring an open heart and listen in.To learn more about Mercy Center: www.mercycenterofarizona.orgTo reach Pamela directly: pamela@mercycenteraz.com
