New internal medicine doctor begins working at WMC

Internal medicine physician Dr. Ashlee Holst has begun working at the Clinic at Winneshiek Medical Center.  

Dr. Holst specializes in comprehensive primary care for adults, and chronic disease management for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, blood disorders, asthma, and heart disease.

Holst earned her Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from Iowa State University and her medical degree from A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri.   She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Iowa.  

Internal medicine physicians are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.  They are specially trained to handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.

Dr. Holst will work collaboratively with fellow internal medicine physician Dr. Brian Dougan.
