Jason Heffernan, MD, MS
Physician Owner
Spokane physician owner Jason Heffernan brings hospitalist, palliative care, and community-based leadership experience to PACWEST's care model.
PACWEST Healthcare brings primary care and specialty support to people with complex medical and psychosocial needs. We meet them where they live, from skilled nursing and assisted living to adult family homes and other residential settings.
We bring primary care, psychiatry, palliative care, podiatry, telehealth, and care coordination to patients who need more support than a traditional office model can offer.
Mobile primary care from physicians and specially trained advanced practice clinicians serving as your PCP in community-based settings.
Psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and behavioral health support tailored to community-based patients and care teams.
Palliative support from physicians and experienced advanced practice clinicians focused on comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life.
On-site podiatry and coordinated foot-care support that helps patients stay comfortable, mobile, and closely monitored.
When immediate care is needed but an in-person visit is not feasible, telehealth bridges the gap for prompt clinical assessment and follow-up.
We keep the moving parts together: admissions, referrals, family updates, and transitions from one care setting to the next.

PACWEST Healthcare is a community-based medical group built for people whose care needs do not fit a traditional clinic model.
We serve as the primary care provider and come to the patient, working in skilled nursing, assisted living, adult family homes, and other residential settings as care needs change.
We believe quality healthcare shouldn't be limited by location. Our team brings expert medical care and specialty support directly into the communities where our patients live.
We provide care on site in skilled nursing, assisted living, adult family homes, and other residential communities.
We coordinate appointments around your needs, placing importance on flexibility to best support your care plan.
We have established contracts with most insurance companies to deliver high quality care where it is needed most.
We work closely with facility teams, families, and community partners to support transitions of care and continuity.
Primary care, psychiatry, palliative care, podiatry, and telehealth support align around one coordinated care plan.
Our physicians and advanced practice clinicians are used to caring for medically complex patients whose needs can change quickly.
Jason Heffernan, MD, and Kristin Prey, DNP, bring physician and advanced practice leadership together across the communities PACWEST serves.
Their shared focus is simple: consistent care, clear communication, and a team that stays involved as patients move between settings.
