Dr. Nancy
Yoder started her work as principal of the Hospital School in July 2014
and is excited to be an educator and administrator in such a fine
medical facility as the UNC Children's Hospital! Early in her career,
Dr. Yoder taught students with emotional and behavioral disabilities in
the Midwest as well as 5th grade for the Department of Defense in
Germany.

She served as principal of 4 elementary schools in
Wisconsin prior to becoming the Executive Director of Student Services
in Madison, Wisconsin where she provided leadership for social workers,
psychologists, counselors and behavior coaches in addition to overseeing
the district's alternative programs. In this role, Dr. Yoder was
responsible for programs that served students facing challenges such as
chronic and acute illness, hospitalization, incarceration and
homelessness. The wide range of experiences she has had as an educator
make her a good match for the position of Hospital School Principal and
she is eager to learn everything she can about the school and the
services it provides to students and families.
When Dr. Yoder is not at the Hospital School, you
might find her running or biking the wooded trails in her neighborhood,
checking out the area's festivals or reading a favorite book at a local
coffee shop. Next time you are in the hospital, stop in one of her
offices on 2nd or 7th floor and introduce yourself --- she will be happy
to meet you!
