Kris Tinklenberg, RN, CLC is HERE FOR EVERY STEP!
Kris Tinklenberg, one of Promise Community Health Center’s OB nurses and Certified Lactation Counselor began working at Promise in 2021. Before coming to Promise, she worked as a bedside nurse and clinical nurse at Sioux Center Health. Kris Tinklenberg has always enjoyed being a labor and delivery nurse, especially when she works with a Midwife. Kris loves her job as an OB nurse because she loves the natural process of birth and assisting mothers in natural pregnancy and labor. Being at the labor and birth is a huge privilege and blessing, but beyond Home Birth, Kris also loves the relationship the Women’s Health team builds with their families.
Some of the women’s health services Kris Tinklenberg offers are:
- Lactation counseling
- Assisting in home births
- Assisting in prenatal and postnatal appointments
- Helping patients to follow their health plan
- And more!
If you are looking to have a midwife for your prenatal care or the home birth of your baby, Kris believes the nurses and providers at Promise are the best and have the resources available to meet every need that could come up.
Our prenatal team is always ready to serve women and their babies. I get excited when we find ways to improve their childbirth experience!– Kris Tinklenberg, RN, CLC
Midwifery care is all about advocating for women and making them active participants in their care. Kris is excited to spread awareness of the midwifery care model by being part of Promise’s new women’s health team campaign, HERE FOR EVERY STEP.
