Julie Rowland, APRN, is now accepting new patients at Baptist Health Family and Occupational Clinic-South located at 8600 South 36th Terrace.

Rowland joined Baptist Health in the Spring, but has been a nurse practitioner in the community for four years.

Rowland earned an advanced practice nursing degree from Simmons College in Boston in 2015 and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway in 2011. She has more than 13 years of nursing experience, including working in intensive care and cardiology units across the state. Rowland says her experience in hospitals inspired her to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner.

"When you treat a patient in the hospital, you usually see them at their worst, but in the clinic, you have the opportunity to educate patients at all stages of life and help them achieve their health goals," Rowland said.

Rowland provides wellness exams, preventive care and treatment for acute illness for patients who are school-age and older. Her clinical interests include diabetes, depression and preventive medicine. As the wife of a type 1 diabetic, Rowland knows firsthand how to help patients manage blood sugar levels with insulin, diet and lifestyle to prevent complications. She takes a holistic approach to patient care and values the time she spends discussing a patients individual needs.

"I like to try to do things as naturally as possible such as addressing a patients hormone and vitamin deficiencies, and overall lifestyle before adding any medications or making any changes," Rowland said.

Rowland was born and raised in Charleston. She is married with three daughters. To make an appointment with Rowland or to learn more about services provided, please call 1-888-BAPTIST.

Dr. Megan Minniear-Corrons, M.D., recently joined Mercy as a family medicine physician at Mercy Clinic Primary Care, a new Mercy location in Clarksville.

The new clinic opened Aug. 3 at No. 2 Medicine Drive in Clarksville.

Corrons is a graduate of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelors degree in biology from the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville.

Corrons said because Mercys mission is to "bring to life the healing ministry of Jesus," she hopes to show the love of Christ to each patient every day.

"I chose family medicine as a way to give back to my community, because I want to have personal relationships with my patients," Corrons said. "I want the decisions that are made regarding their health care to be a collaborative effort. I want them to feel that their concerns have been heard and together we have decided on a plan for them."

Corrons is a member of the American Medical Womens Association and American Academy of Family Physicians. She has served as a representative on the Family Medicine Interest Group M4 and on the Hospital Auxiliary at Johnson Regional Medical Center in Clarksville. In addition, she has served on the fundraising and activities committees and as Sunday school and vacation Bible school director at First United Pentecostal Church of Clarksville.

She and her husband, Nathanial Corrons, live in Clarksville and attend GracePoint Church in Clarksville.

Mercy Clinic Primary Care in Clarksville is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Phone: (479) 705-2124.
