More than 100 years ago, a group of forward-thinking Winneshiek County citizens had a vision: to build a hospital to support a healthy, vibrant and lasting community for future generations. Today, the original hospital has evolved to become WinnMed.
WinnMed is one of the largest Critical Access Hospitals in Iowa. With an active medical staff of over 35 WinnMed, Mayo Clinic Health System and Emplify Health by Gundersen physicians, and clinics in Decorah, Ossian and Mabel, Minnesota; Luther College and Upper Iowa University, WinnMed is the largest and most specialized hospital in the region.
WinnMed has earned The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval® for accreditation by demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission’s national standards for health care quality and safety in hospitals.
WinnMed continues their commitment to the community by hiring skilled, compassionate staff, by bringing the newest medical technology into the region, and by providing care in a way that maintains the personal experience of a community hospital, but assures patients that they are receiving the very best in health care.
