Heather Zimmerman
804 Chatham Ave., 
Chatham, LA 

Overview

Heather Zimmerman, FNP-C, is a compassionate family nurse practitioner who is deeply committed to providing accessible, high-quality care close to home. Her journey into medicine began while working as a nurse, when she saw firsthand how often patients had to travel long distances or wait days to receive care. That experience inspired her to become a provider and serve as a local resource for patients seeking timely, attentive healthcare.

Practicing in the Jackson Parish Hospital health system holds special meaning for Heather, as it allows her to care for patients in the same community where she and her family are actively involved. In fact, her connection to JPH comes full circle - she completed her LPN clinicals at the hospital in 2009 and now proudly serves the community as a provider.

Outside of work, Heather enjoys spending time with her family. You’ll often find her cheering on her son at baseball games or enjoying hunting and fishing trips with her husband and son. A self‑described foodie, she loves trying new foods and believes great care, like great meals, comes in many forms.

Her clinical expertise encompasses Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), Hypertension, and Viral Pharyngitis.

Dr. Zimmerman is board certified in American Academy Of Nurse Practitioners. Dr. Zimmerman is currently accepting new patients.
