Hi, I’m Lindsey, one of the nurse practitioners you’ll meet when you walk through the clinic door.  I am so thankful for the privilege of serving at Main Street Family Medicine alongside such caring, wise, kind-hearted people.  I’ve been here in the Registered Nurse role since we opened the clinic and transitioned to the Nurse Practitioner role in 2023. I grew up in Battle Ground and appreciate the strong sense of community that has grown over the years. I enjoy getting outside in the beautiful PNW, whether it’s hiking, camping, and playing sports or just sitting on the back deck drinking coffee. I feel very thankful to have the opportunity to be a part of a healthcare community here that truly values connection and trust.
