Welcome Hayden Washatko, PA-C
Healing starts with really listening
- Hayden
We're delighted to welcome Hayden Washatko to Inner Journey Healthcare. Hayden joins our team as a Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C), and she's now accepting new patients starting in September. Get on her list today.
For Hayden, good care starts with a genuinely good life. That means more than the absence of illness. It means the presence of connection, curiosity, and joy. She's passionate about getting to know her patients, understanding their unique stories, and helping them feel heard, respected, and empowered in their care. Health, in her view, is nurtured by attending to both the physical and emotional sides of a person, and she's excited to be at Inner Journey Healthcare, where that kind of person centered care is the whole point.
“Healing starts with really listening — with taking the time to understand someone's story before trying to help them write the next chapter.”
Before becoming a Physician Assistant, Hayden spent several years caring for older adults and individuals with disabilities. Those years shaped the way she practices today. She believes healing begins with listening, building trust, and meeting people where they are, so that care feels less like a checklist and more like a relationship worth showing up for. She earned her bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from the University of Montana before completing her Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of North Dakota.
As a Missoula native, Hayden is honored to care for the community that helped shape her. She looks forward to building lasting relationships with her patients and partnering with them as they pursue healthier, more fulfilling lives, with room for the things that make life worth living. Outside the office, she spends her time with her husband, exploring Montana's trails and rivers, reading, gardening, and always looking ahead to her next adventure or race.
Hayden is accepting new patients starting in September, and her list is filling up. If you're looking for a provider who will take the time to know you and to help you build a life that feels genuinely good, not just managed, we invite you to connect with us and get on her list now.
