Heather Porter
Heather is a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. Born and raised in East Tennessee (Go Vols), she brings a lifelong commitment to patient care and an enduring passion for nursing. Her journey began as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), then she became an LPN in 2006. Heather later earned her BSN from King University in 2018, and she completed her Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University, fulfilling her goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner in August 2023.
Heather’s journey to becoming a Nurse Practitioner was deeply personal. Before her father’s passing, she promised him that she would achieve this milestone, and her board certification in 2023 marked the fulfillment of that promise.
During her career as an RN, Heather worked on the orthopedic floor at Parkwest Medical Center, where her exceptional patient care earned her the DAISY Award.
Outside of work, Heather enjoys traveling—especially to the beach and Disney—attending church, and spending quality time with her husband and three sons.
