Since she was 5 years old and her grandmother was ill, Tammy wanted to be a nurse. She is passionate about women's health and the OSF Mission to serve with the greatest care and love.

"I spend as much time as the patient needs, and I am here to walk the journey with them and their families," Tammy said.

She and her husband, David, have been married for 30 years and have four adult children: two daughters and two sons. They like weekend getaways and exploring national and state parks.
