Heidi Bishop, PA-C, MHS

Mrs. Heidi Bishop was born in the rural community of Roanoke Rapids, NC, where she resided until high school graduation. With a passion for science and little money for college, she was able to work through her undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke with aspirations of becoming a physician assistant.

In 2008, Mrs. Bishop earned a Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award, which allowed her to join a team at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Here, her training involved research focused on the link between cardiovascular disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. A love and deeper understanding of research emerged during this time that still affects her practice today.

Mrs. Bishop attended Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA for graduate school where she earned her Master's in Health Science completing the Physician Assistant program in 2011. She then moved back to her hometown of Roanoke Rapids to be closer to family and practice in the underserved community in which she had lived for most of her life.

She then joined a general surgery practice while maintaining a footing in the local emergency department to be more involved in inpatient care. This experience proved to further satisfy professional interests and ongoing desire to learn and provided a smooth transition to urgent care in 2019.

Serving in urgent care, she felt more able to impact the community and meet the growing demand for immediate health care needs. Bridging the gap between the overwhelmed primary care offices and emergency departments, she is affecting change that can improve the overall health and wellbeing of the community. Her goal is to educate and treat patient’s urgent care needs to decrease hospitalizations and increase compliance with routine primary care with more focus on prevention. She is excited to now be serving Emporia and the surrounding communities with this same goal.

Mrs. Bishop still maintains her primary residence in Roanoke Rapids, NC. In addition to her ongoing research interests focusing on disease prevention primarily as it relates to insulin, she enjoys music, sewing, needlework, and reading in her spare time, but most of all, leisure days with her husband and young daughter.

As a new graduate, she spent five years with an internal medicine practice in a broad range of settings, including the primary office, long-term acute care hospital, health department, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and the general hospital.
