Joanna Sanders is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who brings a rich background of acute clinical experience and deep roots to Whitesboro Family Medical Clinic. Born and raised in Valley View, Texas, Joanna began her healthcare journey at North Central Texas College, earning her Associate Degree in 2011. She went on to complete her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas at Arlington, ultimately earning her Master of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman’s University in 2018.

Joanna spent the first seven years of her medical career as a Registered Nurse in the fast-paced environment of the emergency department, developing strong clinical intuition and expertise in acute care. Transitioning into primary care, she served as a Family Nurse Practitioner at a clinical practice in Plano for two years before bringing her talents back home to her local community. In 2019, Joanna relocated to Whitesboro with her husband, Justin, and their three children, Luke, Bailey, and Kyndall. Deeply embedded in the local community, her older children attend Whitesboro ISD, and Joanna is passionately committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate, and personalized family medicine to her neighbors throughout Cooke and Grayson counties.

Outside the Clinic: When she isn't caring for patients, Joanna loves embracing the outdoors—particularly camping at Lake Texoma—traveling, and making memories with her family and friends.
