Medical Interests:  Dr. Yelton is  a physician with a strong professional interest in obstetrics, pediatrics, community health, emergency medicine, and veterans’ healthcare advocacy. Her healthcare career began in 1999, providing her  with more than two decades of experience across multiple healthcare settings and roles. As a former Air Force medic,  she developed a strong foundation in patient care, clinical excellence, teamwork, and service under pressure. These experiences have shaped her commitment to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care while addressing the diverse needs of individuals, families, and communities. She is particularly passionate about improving maternal and child health outcomes, advancing preventive and community-based healthcare initiatives, advocating for veterans’ rights and access to quality healthcare, and providing high-quality care in acute and emergency settings. Her military service continues to inspire my commitment to supporting veterans and ensuring they receive the care, resources, and respect they deserve.

Above all, she cherishs opportunities to connect with children and families, and has  a special fondness for holding and caring for babies whenever the opportunity arises.
