Heather Bassett - Client Care Coordinator
Heather Bassett brings over 13 years of nursing expertise, caring for patients from newborns to seniors, and has found her true calling in end-of-life care. A proud Helena native, she is deeply honored to bring the transformative gift of Hospice and Palliative Care to the Helena and Butte communities.
Passionate about dismantling the stigma surrounding hospice, Heather educates and supports communities, showcasing the profound benefits these services offer to patients and their loved ones. Her prior role as Healthcare Director at an assisted living and memory care facility gave her a front-row seat to the powerful collaboration hospice fosters among residents, families, and staff.
Drawn to Headwaters Hospice and Palliative Care for their unwavering dedication to compassionate, dignified, and exceptional care, Heather embodies their C.A.R.E model in every aspect of her work. As a Community Care Coordinator, she masterfully weaves together her dual passions for education and end-of-life care, creating meaningful connections and support systems for those she serves.
Beyond her professional life, Heather is a devoted military wife to Master Sergeant Quinn Bassett and a proud mother of four remarkable children. When she’s not coordinating busy sports schedules or supporting her husband’s military commitments, you’ll find her immersed in a good book, tending her garden, unwinding in a hot spring, or camping under the stars in the Elkhorns.
