I earned my Bachelor's Degree of Nursing at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. In 2015 I obtained my School Nurse Certification for the State of Wisconsin. I have worked in several areas of health care. These include, many different departments of the hospital, long-term care, and home care. I began my role as the School Nurse in March of 2013. I also work part time as an Emergency Room nurse.
My passion has always been to care for others. I strive to improve the health and safety of our students.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love to go camping and spend time outdoors. I also try to find time to scrapbook and work on craft projects.

My name is Heather Richardson, and I’m a physician assistant (PA) based in Appleton, Wisconsin.
I graduated from PA school in 2019 at Midwestern University in Downers Grove, IL and happily moved back to Wisconsin to be closer to family.
My background as a physician assistant is working in family practice and urgent care. I am excited to be serving the Omro School District.
Outside of work, I enjoy theatre, music, traveling and cooking.
