Dr. Tam-Williams, also known as Dr. Jade to her patients, strongly believes in breathing well and the importance of breathing good clean air. She was born and raised in Miami, Florida; but has spent most of her training and career all throughout Missouri falling in love with the Midwest life and people, but wishes there was an ocean nearby. Her passions are asthma, childhood interstitial lung disease, improving systems of care, and yoga. She lives by the Emerson quote “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
