About Mrs. Heather Rachal

As a pediatric nurse practitioner of 16 years I have gained the knowledge and experience to offer high quality and compassionate care to the children of central Louisiana. I have had a passion for pediatric healthcare since a young age. I began my career as a pediatric nurse in 1999 and have gained experience in pediatric intensive care as well as general pediatrics. I earned my master's degree in nursing with a concentration in primary care PNP in 2007 from Northwestern State University and went on to earn a post master's certificate in acute care PNP in 2011 from Vanderbilt University. I have 24yrs of pediatric nursing experience with 15 yrs experience working as a nurse practitioner in both outpatient and inpatient pediatric healthcare as well as training and experience in ENT care. I have lived in Alexandria all of my life and am proud to care for the children of central Louisiana. When I am not caring for my patients I love spending time with my husband and 3 children.
