Heidi Evans has lived in St. Albert since 2013 with her husband and two teenagers. Supporting family members and friends, clients when working as a Health Care Aide, and then volunteering with SASHA have been rewarding and fulfilling. She continues to advocate compassionate patient centered care for others, especially when they can no longer advocate for themselves. Heidi commits to having open and natural discussions regarding life and death, not as an ending but as a transition, and hopes to ease the fear we carry during such a difficult time.

Heidi joined the SASHA staff as Program Coordinator from July 2023 to March 2024, became  Manager from April 2024 to March 2025, and was promoted to Executive Director in April 2025. Heidi is passionate about SASHA’s mission – supporting those with a life-limiting illness, their caregivers, and those grieving a loss. “St. Albert is an incredibly compassionate community. I feel blessed every day to work in a city that prioritizes supporting palliative care, and sees the strength in lifting each other up.”
