UP Health System is pleased to welcome board-certified sports medicine physician, Colleen Dupuis, DO, specializing in comprehensive, non-surgical treatments for a wide range of orthopedic and sports-related conditions, from routine sprains and strains to concussions, fractures, and arthritis.
Dr. Dupuis’ goal is to help people of all ages live active lifestyles as long and safely as possible. She especially enjoys working with the pediatric and adolescent patient populations and getting out into the community to teach safe sports practices to young athletes. Involving her patients as integral members of the care team is key to the success of her treatment program.
“Patients have the best outcomes when we work together as a team and keep the lines of communication open,” she said. “Patients need to understand exactly what is going on with their health and what kinds of treatment options are available to them, so they can make the right decisions for the best results. It is also important that I understand their personal goals for their health and hobbies so that we can work to keep them on the path to achieve their goals.”
Formerly, Dr. Dupuis held positions as a primary care sports and family medicine physician for both Aspirus Houghton Clinic and Banner Health in Loveland, CO. She also served as a team physician for Northern Colorado University and held a faculty position instructing the sports medicine elective at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Dupuis earned her medical degree from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her Sports Medicine Fellowship at Michigan State University/Sparrow Hospital. She completed her Family Medicine Residency at Vidant Medical Center – East Carolina University. Professional affiliations include the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Family Practice.
Dr. Dupuis joins a robust orthopedic team caring for patients at UP Health System and will see patients at UP Health System – Marquette and UP Health System – Bell in Ishpeming.
