Lauren M. Kinker, WHNP-BC

Before working in women’s health my training was in intensive care at an outpatient OB/GYN office at a large hospital system. Riverview Health allows me to use my training and knowledge to serve a great community and have a deep connection with my patients.

I am very compassionate and focused on patient-centered care. I hear my patients’ concerns and needs and like to work together with them to create a plan of care. I firmly believe that everyone has a voice and deserves to be heard. I started working in healthcare so I could be that connection between patients and the healthcare system. Patients are at the heart of what we do and why we do it, and they deserve our practice to be highly skilled and inclusive.

I was born and raised in Indiana. I completed my undergraduate nursing degree at Indiana University and worked for five years at the Cleveland Clinic in cardiac intensive care and in women’s health.
