Meet...Jim

Name: Jim Smith.

Department: Ambulatory Care.

How long at MUSC: Since 1984.

Family: My wife, Pam, and I have both lost spouses. I have three children and she has three. We both have identical twin girls—mine are 21 and hers are 14. Pam has a daughter my girl’s age and I have a son, 31. We have three seniors in college and a small fleet of cars. Oh yes, and Skipper, a cocker spaniel.

Favorite book or reading material: The Bible. I need all the grace that can be given.

Favorite room in your house: Deck overlooking a tidal creek and marsh.

Ingredient you must have in your refrigerator: Hard to beat a good cold beer on a hot day.

Pet peeve: Poor planning.

Biggest challenge at work: Building strong relationships and fitting all I have to do into a week at a time.

Most rewarding thing about your job: I always enjoy working in health care and contributing to our community.

If you suddenly had a free day, what would you do: I love to find special spontaneous things to do with my wife.

Something people don’t know about you: I cook breakfast at Crisis Ministries once a month. 

Something you tried once and will never do again: I am a product of the 60s. I won't say more.
