Lynette Polinder, CNM, ARNP, joined the PeaceHealth Medical Group Obstetrics and Gynecology team of providers in November 2017. Prior to joining PeaceHealth Medical Group, Lynette worked as a certified nurse midwife on the childbirth unit at Lakeland Medical Center in St. Joseph, Michigan. Early in her career, Lynette served as a registered nurse at a government primary healthcare clinic in northern Thailand, where she also helped organize mobile clinics in remote villages.
