Holly Plamann, RD, LD, CDE, recently became a nationally Certified Diabetes Educator.
Plamann is an outpatient clinical dietitian at the Baptist Health Nutrition Counseling Center on Lexington Avenue in Fort Smith. While Plamann has served this community for more than two years, this new certification allows the center to expand their services for patients in need of specialized diabetes care. As a Certified Diabetes Educator, Plamann can educate patients on the necessary lifestyle changes involved in a diabetes diagnosis, including carb counting, glucose monitoring and insulin adjustment.
“In this role, I’ll be able to help a patient proactively manage their condition,” Plamann said in a news release. “At our center, on average, we are able to lower a patient’s hemoglobin A1C by 1.7 percentage points.”
Plamann earned a bachelor's in science from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in 2015. She joined Baptist Health the following year. As an outpatient clinical dietitian, Plamann provides medical nutrition counseling for patients who may be diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes or issues affecting their digestive system. She also works with patients who wish to lose weight or are preparing for bariatric surgery.
Baptist Health Women’s Clinic-Fort Smith is growing and has added another physician who specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Dr. Aldon E. Corle Jr., M.D., provides prenatal and postpartum care, as well as general wellness exams for women of all ages.
Corle is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and most recently served residents of Pine Bluff as a physician at Jefferson Regional Medical Center. Prior to that, he practiced at Utica Park Clinic in Tulsa. Corle loved science at an early age and wanted to help others, so becoming a physician was a natural choice.
“I chose obstetrics for the variety it offers,” Corle said. “One minute you are in clinic and the next you are delivering a baby. Then, the next day, you find yourself in the operating room. The thing I enjoy most is the bond you form with your patients. They ask you to be a part of one of the most important days of their life — childbirth.”
Corle completed his residency at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita in 2010 after earning a medical degree there in 2006.
Baptist Health Women’s Clinic-Fort Smith is located at 1500 Dodson Ave., Suite 230, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
