About Heather Thornburg

Helping people and making a difference in their lives are the best parts of a career in medicine. Each day, and at each patient encounter, I get to know my patients and understand how best to help them achieve their health goals, both in the short term and over their life span. I have more than 25 years of experience in the medical field. I started out as a paramedic and then I earned my nursing degree. After a few years in nursing, I went back to school again to become a nurse practitioner. I wanted to be more involved in establishing treatment plans for my patients and seeing those plans through. I want my patients to know that the care I offer is based on the best science available, and takes their wishes into account. My husband is a retired chief of police, so he has plenty of time to spend with me when I'm not working. I have one son, who has aspirations to become a physician assistant. I am proud he wants to follow my footsteps into a medical career. When I am not spending time with the people most important to me, you can find me with my animals; I have four dogs and seven chickens. In my downtime, I love traveling, reading and quilting.
