Lindsay Tuttle Yoxheimer, ABSN, MSN, AGNP-BC

I am a clinician educator and value being a very strong patient advocate, serving as an educator to families and caregivers and supporting patients through changes as they age. I have loved geriatric medicine since medical school. I love getting to know my patients and working together to meet their needs. I have a strong focus on mental health in addition to primary care. I am very passionate about medical student education and coaching and I serve as a mentor and academic coach to medical students in their clinical years of training. I also teach first and second year medical students in the Patient Centered Care Course at UNC School of Medicine.

I wanted to become a nurse practitioner in order to take care of patients throughout their adult life and different touches of the healthcare system. I want to hear what is important to each patient in their life as it helps me care for them as a whole individual. Together, we make decisions on care options after I help educate patients on my view of their health and how many symptoms may be interrelated. Outside of work, I stay busy with my husband, two children, boy and girl, and dog. I love to attend my children’s activities and show them support. I am a UNC alumnus twice and try to keep up with the latest sports news. I often spend weekend time seeing family/friends, reading, boating, do-it-yourself projects and volunteering.

My passion for clinical care is fueled by a genuine interest in and respect for individuals from various backgrounds and life journeys. As a West Virginia native who has practiced medicine in West Virginia, Baltimore and Charlotte, I bring over 20 years of clinical experience in caring for individuals from rural to urban communities. My desire is to engage every patient with kindness and respect while focusing on patient objectives, preventive medicine, the societal and environmental factors influencing health, and the promotion of health through education. I moved to UNC Health and the UNC School of Medicine to continue providing the highest-level care for patients while influencing and shaping the lives of future physicians. Outside of medicine, my joy comes from my faith, family, friends and serving my community.
