Our hearts go out to the family of Dr. Pamela Cunningham, a founding board member of our Chapter. She recently lost her nine-year battle with a rare form of salivary gland cancer.
“Pam was a great board member for First Tee,” said Chapter Chairman Steve Rockoff. “She was a courageous woman that overcame sexism and racism in her career through grace and dignity. She was a pioneer in the medical industry and embodied the mission and values of First Tee serving our community.”
Dr. Cunningham established the first African-American anesthesiologist group in Dallas, her home town. She took great pride in being a dedicated and skilled physician who provided exceptional care for her patients. She was loved by her patients. Despite the trauma of the disease and her ongoing radiation treatments, she never lost her optimism or her faith.
