Meet Your Provider

I built the practice I wished existed.

I opened Grace Health because I kept watching women leave appointments feeling rushed, dismissed, and unheard. I wanted to build the practice I always wished existed for women like me.

Heather Harris, FNP, owner of Grace Health

Board-Certified FNP · Gynecology Specialist

Twenty years across every corner of women's health.

I spent two decades in healthcare serving across Hartford County from every angle: emergency, birth, fertility, and everything in between. But it showed me a frustrating pattern in traditional settings. Too often, I saw women leaving appointments feeling rushed, dismissed, and unheard. Too often, their symptoms were dismissed as "just stress," and their questions met with a pamphlet rather than a conversation.

I opened Grace Health because you deserve better. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through difficult symptoms, and you don't have to suffer through major life transitions in silence. Your comfort, questions, and experiences matter.

As an independent practice, I answer to my patients, not corporate metrics. There is no 10-minute timer and no chart pressure here; just you and me, taking time to understand your health together. I am deeply committed to ensuring excellent care is accessible, which is why I proudly serve patients on CT Medicaid and those who historically struggled to access quality gynecological care.
 
At Grace Health, your symptoms are taken seriously, your voice is heard, and you are given space to heal on your own terms.

I spent two decades in healthcare serving across Hartford County as an EMT, a Labor & Delivery nurse, an IVF nurse, and a Women’s Health APRN. That journey taught me women's health from every possible angle: emergency, birth, fertility, and everything in between. But it also showed me a frustrating pattern in traditional healthcare settings. Too often, I saw women leaving appointments feeling rushed, dismissed, and unheard. Too often, their real symptoms were dismissed as "just stress," and their valid questions met with a pamphlet rather than a real conversation.

I opened Grace Health because I believe you deserve better. You don't have to grin and bear it through difficult symptoms, and you don't have to suffer through major life transitions in silence. Your comfort, your questions, and your experiences matter.

Your insurance coverage will never determine the quality of care you receive here. At Grace Health, your symptoms are taken seriously, your voice is heard, and you are given the space to heal on your own terms.
