ASHEVILLE, N.C., February 20, 2025 — AdventHealth Welcomes New Family Nurse Practitioner to Growing Laurel Park Office

HENDERSONVILLE, NC, February 20, 2025 – AdventHealth is excited to welcome back Haley Freeman, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, to her new role at AdventHealth Medical Group Multispecialty at Laurel Park. Freeman is a certified Family Nurse Practitioner and will be offering exceptional, patient-centered care for patients throughout all stages of life.

Freeman has extensive experience in a diverse variety of specialty areas, including hospice, Labor and Delivery/Postpartum, long-term care and inpatient hospital care. She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and her Doctor of Nursing Practice with a focus on Family Nurse Practitioner from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in Wilmington, NC.

Originally interested in becoming a teacher, Freeman changed her mind when she experienced exceptional, whole-person care during the delivery of her first child at AdventHealth Hendersonville. From that experience, she knew she was hooked and was inspired to pursue her career in healthcare.

A familiar face for some, Freeman began her health care journey as a medical/surgical Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at AdventHealth Hendersonville, and steadily advanced to become a Registered Nurse (RN) in both the medical/surgical unit and The Baby Place. Her commitment to excellence and patient care has been evident throughout her medical career at AdventHealth Hendersonville.

“I believe that my diverse nursing background will allow me to provide supportive and individualized primary care to patients during all stages of their life,” Freeman shares. “I have supported patients and families during both the beginning and end of life as well as everything in between. Both hospice and women’s health care fields that are largely driven by patient autonomy and shared decision making. My time in these roles has given me a unique perspective when it comes to primary care and patient-centered care.”

Freeman is committed to improving the health and well-being of every patient, every time through evidence-based and patient-centered care. She believes that building trust with her patients through active communication and empathetic listening is key to caring for her patients through all stages of life.

“Working in primary care means that I am there for my patients throughout all stages of life,” Freeman explains. “Whole person health is multifaceted, and I believe that establishing a solid provider/patient relationship is essential to my job as a health care provider.”

As a Hendersonville native, Freeman is excited to be providing whole-person care to the community she knows and loves. “As someone who grew up in Hendersonville, the AdventHealth Hendersonville community is my community,” she says. “I have a vested interest in improving the health of the community because it contains those my family and I experience our lives with and care for.” She adds, “Coming back to AdventHealth feels like coming back home.”

Freeman and her husband both grew up in Hendersonville, NC, and have known each other since elementary school. They have three sons, ages 10, 6 and 4. Outside of work, she enjoys spending as much time with her family as possible, hiking, playing board games, and reading.
