Dr. David Frate joins Stewart Memorial Community Hospital New Physician Expands Care Options for people with multiple chronic conditions

Dr. Frate

(Lake City, IA) On a hot summer afternoon some twenty-five years ago, when Dr. David Frate was just eleven years old, the course of his life took a dramatic change. The circumstances eventually brought him here, to Stewart Memorial Community Hospital in Lake City, IA. It was August 1985 and Dr. Frate (pronounced freight) was a young boy enjoying a game of baseball when he was struck in the head by a line drive ball. “I was rushed to the emergency room and they did an x-ray of my head,” recalls Frate. The x-rays revealed he had a brain tumor. “The operation was successful and the tumor was benign, but I spent the next twelve months recovering from the surgery. It was in those twelve months and years following that I became intrigued with medicine. My experience with the doctors was very positive,” says Frate.

Following high school, Dr. Frate joined the Navy and served as a hospital corpsman specialized in preventive medicine. During his four years in the Navy, his desire to practice medicine sailed. “I really fell in love with listening to patients, talking with them and finding ways to prevent illness,” notes Frate. Following the Navy, Frate attended George Mason University in Fairfax, VA and then went on to medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Lake Erie, PA. He completed four years of residency in Family Medicine and Internal Medicine at Easter Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA. “My interest in Internal Medicine combined with Family Medicine stems from my desire to help patients live the healthiest life possible by addressing their health issues early,” states Frate.

An Internal Medicine physician is a doctor that has specialized training in treating patients with multiple chronic health conditions. These diseases can include diabetes, cardiovascular risks, kidney disease, lung diseases, and more. “My goal is to help treat existing conditions and look at ways to reduce risks of additional health problems by addressing a patients overall wellbeing,” says Frate.

Dr. Frate, his wife Wendy and their three children moved from Chesapeake, VA to Lake City in July and Dr. Frate will begin seeing patients September 1st. “As a family we are very excited to raise our children in a small community,” says Frate. When Dr. Frate is not caring for patients or spending time with his family, he enjoys running, fishing and cheering on his alma mater, the George Mason Patriots. If you are interested in learning more about the services offered by Dr. Frate, please call 1-800-560-7500 or log onto the hospital website at www.stewartmemorial.org
