Alice Lloyd College alumni are making a difference in Appalachia, and Dr. Anthony Yonts is one excellent example of that. Raised in Bevinsville, Kentucky, Yonts attended The June Buchanan School, graduating in 1996. Just three years later, Yonts graduated from Alice Lloyd College with a Bachelor of Science degree. He went on to graduate from the University of Pikeville – Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003 and is board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics from the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center.
Yonts is also a two-time winner of the Medical Educator of the Year Award and the Clinical Excellence in Medical Education Award, both awards bestowed by the University of Pikeville.
Currently, Dr. Yonts is a physician and co-owner at Quantum Health Care in Hazard, Kentucky. He is active in his local church and is an Upward Bound basketball coach.
