Katherine Yori-Biermaas, CRNP, ACLS

Katherine Yori-Biermaas, CRNP, joined the Esperanza staff in 2020 as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, Katherine completed her education close to home receiving a BS in Kinesiology at Temple University, and an accelerated BSN at Drexel. She felt God’s leading over her life to serve in healthcare and loves to care for people’s well-being; the Bible verses of Isaiah 17:7-8 continue to be her motivation. A pastor of hers from over 10 years ago shared the mission of Esperanza with her, and as she prayed for where to work, Esperanza became a home. She strives to listen to her patients well and hear their thoughts and concerns, all while trying to implement quality and evidence-based care. Katherine loves to spend time with her family: husband Nathan and her children Lucas and Allona (“Lonnie”). She also enjoys running, cycling, and swimming and has very much enjoyed being on the Philly marathon pace team.
