Heather Muse Email and Phone Number

I am currently a family nurse practitioner and have been working as a primary care provider in the rural health setting since 2014. Since obtaining my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Southeastern Louisiana University in 2021, I now hold a dual position at the clinic in which I am employed. I am both a family nurse practitioner and a deputy medical director. As a family nurse practitioner, I provide holistic health care in a rural community to an underserved patient population. As the sole primary care provider working autonomously to deliver quality health care, job duties include the following: conducting comprehensive health history and physical exams, developing treatment plans for acute and chronic conditions, prescribing medications, ordering and interpreting laboratory tests, ordering and interpreting x-rays and other diagnostic imaging tests, performing diagnostic tests and screening evaluations, emphasizing preventative care and disease management, educating and guiding patients on disease prevention and management as well as healthy lifestyle habits, and understanding the changes in health promotion throughout the aging process.
