Paris, Tenn.– Henry County Medical Center has announced the addition of two nurse
practitioners to the Paris Women’s Center, with both having West Tennessee roots. Melissa Youree from Union City and Rachel Moss of Huntingdon have both recently joined Paris Women’s Center and are available to see patients.
Melissa Youree worked in women’s health for 16 years. Youree graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing
from the University of Tennessee-Martin, beginning her career in Martin, working labor and delivery.
Later on in her career, she attended Murray State University where she received her Masters of Science
in Nursing as a family nurse practitioner. She has always been involved with women’s health and has a
true passion for it.
She is originally from Hickman, KY and has always enjoyed the lake life, so she is very excited to be
close to the lakes by coming to this area. She is very excited to join Paris Women’s Center and being a
part of women’s lives during a very special time in their lives.
“At Paris Women’s Center, you are not a number, but an individual, and it comes down to quality and
taking the time to give the one-on-one care to the patients,” said Youree. “Knowing you are being heard
and validated is a true passion for me and I am so glad I can carry on that legacy at HCMC and Paris
Women’s Center.”
Rachel Holmes went to University of Tennessee at Martin
where she received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She received her Master of Science in Nursing
from Union University in Jackson. During her career, she has worked in home health and hospice,
labor and delivery, as well as with Dr. Evans in Jackson, TN. Knowing the amazing care that Dr. Evans
provides, Holmes wanted to join her at Paris Women’s Center.
Since she was very young, Holmes wanted to work with babies, so being involved in women’s health is
exactly where she wants to be. Her husband is a critical care paramedic and she has three children,
Maddox, Miller, and Maley. Her boys play baseball so they love to be at the park. Holmes is very
crafty and she enjoys painting and is a part time florist.
“It has been an awesome experience working at Paris Women’s Center so far,” said Holmes. “I have
worked with Dr. Evans in the past and I have gotten to know Dr. Whitfield, and they are both excellent
physicians and care tremendously for their patients. The entire staff is excellent to work with.”
“Paris Women’s Center is very important to our area,” said Holmes. “There are so many women that
don’t have access to close healthcare in the small towns near here, so HCMC and Paris Women’s Center
is very essential to their health. It is an asset to the community and region we serve.”
