The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has summarily suspended the licensed practical nurse license of Yolanda Marie Moore, L.P.N., based on her felony convictions in the 16th Judicial Circuit Court, in Macomb County. Moore failed to report her convictions to MDCH as required by the Public Health Code.

On June 21, 2001, Moore was convicted of one count of Motor Vehicles – Buying or Receiving Vehicle/Part Knowing Identification Number was Removed or Altered, a felony and of Stolen Property – Receiving and Concealing - $1,000 or More but Less Than $20,000. As a result, Moore was sentenced to 18 months probation with terms and ordered to pay a fine, supervision fees, court costs and crime victim’s rights funds for a total amount of $2,180.

On June 19, 2006, MDCH issued an order immediately suspending Moore's license pursuant to the Public Health Code, which provides for the mandatory summary suspension of a health professional's license upon the conviction of a felony. An administrative hearing will be scheduled to address the status of Moore's licensed practical nurse license.
