Pamila Peters

Pamila Peters is a Perioperative Surgical Technician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where she has worked since 2022. She began practicing as a surgical technician approximately six to seven months ago, specializing in anesthesia support within the operating room. In this role, Pamila contributes to the surgical team by ensuring procedures run smoothly and safely while helping provide the highest level of care to pediatric patients.

Before transitioning into surgical technology, Pamila spent about two and a half years as a Mental Health Specialist at the hospital’s Behavioral Health Pavilion, working closely with children in the Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit. There, she supported young patients experiencing mental health crises by providing emotional support, engaging them in activities, and helping create a sense of connection during challenging moments. Her ability to combine empathy with clinical awareness helped foster a supportive environment for children in vulnerable situations.

In addition to her hospital work, Pamila has served as an independent provider for the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities since 2008, a role she continues part-time to maintain long-standing relationships with the families she has supported for more than a decade. She holds certifications in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), AED, CPR, and first aid for all ages. Guided by values instilled by her father, a Marine, Pamila remains deeply committed to children’s mental health awareness and advocacy while continuing to expand her clinical skills in pediatric healthcare.
