About Heather Hammaker

Before becoming a family nurse practitioner, I worked for many years as a labor and delivery nurse, caring for patients with both routine and high-risk pregnancies. I also cared for patients with serious health needs in a critical care setting. These experiences taught me how important it is to listen closely, stay calm and respond quickly when patients need help.Today, I care for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. I provide routine checkups, well-child visits, preventive care and treatment for short-term illnesses and long-term health concerns. Patient education is an important part of my care. I take time to explain health conditions, prevention and immunizations in a way that is easy to understand. My goal is to help patients and families feel informed, confident and supported in their care.During the pandemic, I helped open our extended care location in Mt. Airy, which continues to serve the community today. I have also enjoyed teaching future nurses as a clinical instructor for maternal-child nursing students at Appalachian State University.
