The First Person You See ALL ABOUT HEATHER HUNTER, OUR FACE AT THE FRONT DESK Meet Heather Hunter. Well, if you’ve been a patient of ours at any time over the past four years, you probably already have! This month, we wanted to share a bit more about her so you can get to know her a little better. No matter which therapist you work with at Mission Physical Therapy, everyone generally knows Heather because she’s our receptionist, and she’s there to greet you as you enter for your appointment. She’s an integral part of the Mission PT family. Our patients are gracious and they compliment our therapists, but we also receive so much wonderful feedback about our office staff — Heather very much included. She’s warm, friendly, and professional and has a great sense of humor. She is a dedicated and devoted member of the team. “I love getting to know our patients and getting to watch their recovery,” Heather says. Since she works at the front desk, she gets a unique perspective of the people who come through our door, seeing them on their first day in and on every visit thereafter. She literally gets to watch their progress. Before joining Mission PT, Heather spent years in the customer service and health care fields, including six years at La Posada Assisted Living in Green Valley. She grew up in Seattle, Washington, but moved to Tucson 32 years ago and has called Gilbert home for the past 4 ½ years. She spends most of her free time with her family, including her husband of 25 years. Together they have two (adult) children, two dogs, and a cat! She also loves horseback riding, water skiing, hiking, and traveling.
