DECORAH — WinnMed has added Dr. David McAlpine to its medical team as a full-time emergency medicine physician, the hospital announced. McAlpine joined WinnMed this spring and provides care in the WinnMed Emergency Department. McAlpine earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee in 2011. He completed his residency in emergency medicine through the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in 2014.

His professional interests include heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia, mental health crisis management, professional development, patient education and preventive medicine. He is certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. "I practice individualized medicine, recognizing that while patients may share the same diagnosis or medical condition, optimal care requires a personalized treatment plan," McAlpine said in a statement. "I chose emergency medicine because I meet people every day during what is often their worst day, and I have the opportunity to provide answers, build trust and offer hope that things will get better," he said. "I am very proud and fortunate to be here at WinnMed and to serve our community." McAlpine and his wife have three children. The family enjoys traveling, exploring business ventures and participating in church activities. The WinnMed Emergency Department includes 10 rooms and is certified as a Level IV trauma hospital.
