Expert care becomes exceptional when it is personal.
Freedom Primary Care was built around a simple belief: patients should be heard, respected, and supported by clinicians who have time to understand their goals.
Yvonne Joy, DNP, APRN
Board-certified family nurse practitioner · Advanced certified hospice and palliative nurse · U.S. Air Force veteran
More than 30 years of healthcare experience—and still listening closely.
Yvonne’s clinical experience spans primary care, urgent care, retail health, long-term care, and hospice. Her favorite part of practice is partnering with patients to give them the best care possible and helping each person set meaningful health goals.
Her approach brings together the best available evidence and the preferences, values, and beliefs of the person in front of her. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, seek guidance about urgent or emergency care, and talk through when specialist support may be appropriate.
A lifelong commitment to learning and service.

Service, teaching, curiosity, and joy.
Yvonne’s story includes Air Force service, teaching, international service trips, and a life beyond the clinic filled with travel, reading, swimming—and hula hooping.
