NEW ULM — Allina Health’s New Ulm Medical Center welcomed Dr. Corinne Jordan who will offer surgical services to patients at the hospital.

Dr. Jordan is a board certified surgeon who specializes in general surgery and breast surgery. Dr. Jordan will also offer her services at Sleepy Eye Medical Center.

Dr. Jordan earned her medical degree at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, N.Y., and completed her residency at St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center, New York, N.Y.

Most recently, Dr. Jordan served as Vice Chair Department of Surgery at Maple Grove Hospital, Vice Chief of Staff at Buffalo Hospital, and Medical Advisor on Breast Disease at Buffalo Hospital. In addition, she practiced at North Memorial Health, Mercy Hospital – Unity Campus, Abbott Northwestern – West Health, and CentraCare Health – Monticello.

Dr. Jordan was named to the Minneapolis St.Paul Magazine Top Doctors list for five consecutive years, 2013-2017.

“I like surgery because it’s a nice combination of science, art, creativity and technology. Specifically, I like that it allows me to engage with my patients and really look at them from an overall holistic and wellness perspective,” said Dr. Jordan.

Dr. Jordan says she believes it’s important to treat the person, not the disease. “It’s not just about doing surgery but making sure a patient is well-supported at home; that they’re eating well, taking care of themselves and getting regular exercise. The things that we all know we’re supposed to do are actually really important to ensure good outcomes and quality of life.”

Dr. Jordan looks forward to sharing her passion for women’s health, breast health and overall wellness with her patients. She previously taught survivorship yoga for breast cancer survivors to help manage symptoms without medications and improve their quality of life.

Outside her practice, Dr. Jordan enjoys CrossFit, reading, working out, spending time with her family, and yoga. Her and her husband, Matt, have an eight-year-old son, Emory, and six-year-old daughter, Charlotte.
