Camara Scott built a career rooted in pediatric and primary care. She began her journey at a local hospital, where she worked for six years as an RN. During that time, she helped launch school-based health centers, helped develop and run a mobile health unit program as a charge nurse, and served as a health coach for children with asthma, ADHD, and weight challenges. Her passion for pediatrics grew alongside her ability to connect with families and educate both parents and kids.
Life, however, brought challenges. While raising young children, she became the full-time caregiver for her mother during her battle with brain cancer and later navigated the loss of both parents. Balancing caregiving, motherhood, and personal transitions, she stepped away from her role, eventually returning to nursing through various positions in insurance, the Department of Rehab and Corrections, and school health. Each role offered valuable lessons, but none gave her the fulfillment she found in pediatric primary care.
Today, Camara has found that sense of purpose at Central Ohio Primary Care (COPC). At COPC’s Eastglen Pediatrics, she feels supported both as a professional and as a person. “Here, I’m not just seen as a nurse. I’m seen as a mom, a teammate, and an individual,” she shares. The culture of teamwork—where colleagues rally around one another—has restored her work-life balance and allowed her to bring her best self home to her family.
In her role, she provides direct patient care, supports parents with education, and builds trusted relationships that extend beyond the exam room. For her, primary care isn’t just about treating children in the moment—it’s about partnering with families as their kids grow into healthy young adults.
“In urgent care or the hospital, you treat and move on. But in primary care, you get to build lifelong relationships with families. That’s what keeps me here.
Primary care is what I do and what I love. I feel most at home working with kids, supporting parents, and watching these babies grow into healthy young adults. As a nurse of color, I take my role very seriously. Representation builds trust in healthcare, and I want to be part of breaking down barriers for families in my community.”
