FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO:
The best and worst of times“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” goes the infamous quote by Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities. I find that this timeless quote captures our current circumstances aptly. This past year has certainly been one of excitement, intrigue, anxiety and unease as we experienced the economic freefall and its impact on our community and individuals. Add to that the topic of healthcare reform and its many perspectives as seen through the eyes and actions of patients, employers, insurance companies, providers, caregivers and more.
There is no question a huge disruption is underway and we are all in its path. In all cases how we act and respond to these times is the test of our character and sense of community. The worst of times scenario might create a situation of blame, hurt, fear and protectionism, while the best of times scenario might encourage collaboration, elimination of barriers, and open, honest communication and understanding, and ultimately, positive actions toward change and transformation.
We recognize that an individual’s personal health and well-being is one of their most valued assets. It takes care, attention, support and occasionally an intervention to diagnose, treat, heal, or cure to regain one’s healthy status. We all have experiences personally and with family members, friends and colleagues that demonstrate the power of health and well-being. This common thread is shared throughout this Community Report In Your Words and, we hope, illustrates how important you are to us.
We evaluate and learn from the past but we can only move forward. And that is what we at Winona Health have been doing. We remain grounded by our mission which is focused on our community. Over time, we have consistently been working and transforming our organization to be prepared for whatever comes our way through our lean efforts, provider recruitment success, and integration of Winona healthcare providers into one organization. Our integrated community health system has positioned us very well for the healthcare rollercoaster ride we are on.
I remain positive and optimistic about our future and the possibilities open to us to continue to deliver healthcare services to our patients, residents and community. On behalf of the physicians, staff, volunteers and board of Winona Health, I extend our sincere appreciation for your patronage and support.

FROM THE BOARD CHAIR:
Meeting the ChallengesIt’s been a challenging year for many Winona-area individuals and families, a challenging year, too, for organizations and businesses – and a challenging year for health care systems, including Winona Health.
The economic downturn, coupled with the uncertainty of healthcare’s future on both the state and national levels, have made for a very difficult year. While we could lament the situation, I am very proud of everyone associated with Winona Health for the proactive posture our system has adopted. Not content to just sit back and let whatever comes along occur, we have been actively working on those things we can control to carve out a brighter future.
The merger of Family Medicine of Winona with Winona Health on October 1 continues a strategy our administration authored and the Board of Trustees embraced. Believing that we will be stronger if we are united, the Family Medicine merger is another key step in a continuing process.
And, like many families and other organizations, Winona Health family members continue to work hard to find ways to stretch resources and increase efficiencies. The focus has been on streamlining processes while continuing to provide the best in patient and resident care. Many improvements have been made, and staff members continue to challenge themselves over what needs to be done and how best to accomplish it.
But while “what” and “how” are continually examined, the “why” is never in question. Winona Health’s mission is clear. Our larger and unified organization is here to improve the health and well-being of our community members, one person and one family at a time. A testament to our reason for being is shared In Your Words throughout this community report.
So, although it’s been a challenging year, and we know with certainty that there are additional and complex challenges ahead, we approach an uncertain future with a clear understanding of why we are here: we are here for you.
As I examine our organization and its efforts to cope with challenging financial times, I am buoyed by the fact that Winona Health is made up of individuals whose collective commitment to our greater community, both professionally and personally, is stronger than ever. That is a message I never tire of sharing.
Sincerely,
Gary W. Evans Board Chair

With the passing of Joe Greshik in November, Winona Health lost a valued and long-standing member of its board and a treasured friend. Joe served on the Winona Health board for nearly 12 years. His involvement at Winona Health, as well as many other community organizations in Cochrane-Fountain City, has touched the lives of many and made a positive difference. Joe will be remembered for his insight, guidance, kindness and unwavering commitment to doing what is best for our community. He will be deeply missed by his friends and colleagues at Winona Health.

Our 2009 Highlights “…to improve the health and well-being of our family, friends and neighbors.” 2009 was a year of change and challenges for the nation…healthcare…and our community. The new president set out to reform healthcare, in a year when this once-believed recession-proof industry proved otherwise. Healthcare systems throughout America felt the impact of customer insecurity as well as reductions in or loss of health insurance benefits for community members. Locally, we experienced similar impacts across the Winona community. However, Winona Health’s mission remains steadfast: to improve the health and well-being of its family, friends and neighbors. We share below some of our top 2009 highlights organized around our four cornerstones:
Committed to our patients—Tanya Wicka, RT, R, conducts a Computerized Tomography Scan. CT scans provide images of specific areas one layer at a time so radiologists can create three-dimensional pictures of areas being examined.
• Winona Health launched an improved organization-wide patient/resident satisfaction survey process. Staff systematically review patient feedback and develop action plans to address concerns shared by patients and residents. Implementing these action plans has resulted in improvements to patient/resident satisfaction scores across Winona Health’s continuum of services by 15%, and our commitment to further improving customer satisfaction remains a top priority.
• Winona Health reorganized its healthcare services into five Service Lines that align with how patients and residents need and use healthcare services at Winona Health: Emergency/Urgent Care Services; Primary Care Clinic Services; Surgery/Specialty Care Services; Inpatient Services; and Senior Services.
• While volumes were down in some areas, Winona Health’s hospital market share continued to grow in 2009. The greatest growth occurred in hospital primary acuity cases, with initial 2009 data showing a 3% market share increase in these cases.
• Winona Health and Family Medicine of Winona merged, further integrating and strengthening our local healthcare system and our ability to address the community’s healthcare needs from birth through end-of-life. In addition, it has proactively positioned Winona Health for expected future health reform impacts.
• The new Rushford Clinic opened its doors, two years after the flood destroyed its former location. The reception/waiting area was dedicated to long-time Rushford physician John Peterson, MD, now retired.
Customer FocusWinona Health staff strives to find new ways to improve the health and well-being of our community. Our goal is to anticipate and exceed patient and resident needs and expectations.
A unif ied system— Family Medicine of Winona joined Winona Health.
Rushford Clinic Open House—Staff, community members, family and friends celebrated Rushford Clinic’s move to Jessie Street in downtown Rushford with an Open House, dedication and ribbon cutting.
Winona Health 2009 Community Report | 9
• Twelve healthcare providers were recruited and/or began caring for the community in 2009:• Abdul Adjei, MD, Hospitalist• Matthew Hayes, MD, Radiology• Jonathan Knight, DO, Family Practice• Mary Kramer, NP, Family Practice • Lynette Lamp, MD, Family Practice • Marla McConkey, PA-C, Urgent Care• Nicholas Modjeski, MD, Family Practice• Danielle Rollmann, PA-C, Urgent Care• Ali Shehata, DO, Emergency Medicine• Leroy Trombetta, MD, General Surgeon (starting full time summer 2010)• Amarjit Virdi, MD, Pain Management• Hans Zinnecker, MD, General Surgeon
• To improve employee and customer satisfaction, and as part of its Lean improvement initiative, Winona Health implemented a program to engage each staff member in continuous system improvement, enhancing each individual’s ability to have an impact on work processes and results. Since April 2009, 238 staff members, approximately 20% of the staff, have been directly involved in lean projects.
• Continued improvements were made to Winona Health’s health benefit plan and focused on improving staff health and well-being. Sixty-five percent of staff participated in the personal health assessment, which saved them $225,000 in premiums.
• Winona Health staff continued to earn additional educational degrees and certifications, including the following staff:
• Marybeth Polus, RN, and Nikki Kimmerle, RN, were re-certified in Hospice and Palliative Care.
• Nancy Dornfeld, RN, received her End-of-Life Certified Nursing certificate.
• Melissa Gerry and Kathy Accola received their Professional of Human Resources (PHR) certification.
• Lynn Sprain, MS, RECP, received her Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) license.
• Alicia Lalim, RECP, received Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification.
• Autumn Herber, CAVS, Volunteer Services manager, received her Certified Administrator of Volunteer Services (CAVS) accreditation.
• Holly Fratzke, CNP, was certified to perform colposcopies.
• Cathy Johnson, RN, BSN, COHN-R, received certification as an Occupational Health Conservationist (COHC).
• Intensive Care Unit nurses Mary Volkert, RN; Laura Cummings, RN; Michelle Olson, RN; and Lisa Burkhalter, RN, received their Critical Care Certification (CCRN).
• Seven staff members were recognized by their colleagues for Living Service Excellence. The 2009 LSE Award recipients are pictured below.

Care & Service - Through system integration and incorporating lean principles and technology, Winona Health’s goal is to achieve optimum clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies.
• Winona Health’s continuous system improvement process, using Lean principles and techniques, was launched with a focus on eliminating waste while maximizing value to our customers. Our initial focus included the Emergency Department, Urgent Care and Inpatient Services. More than 20 key improvement events have been completed and have reduced waste and expense, as well as improved patient flow through the care system.
• Winona Health was named a top performer in caring for hospital patients with heart failure and pneumonia by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Several Winona Health service areas met Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota’s Recognizing Excellence targets, resulting in an award payment to the organization of $59,400. These areas include Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Women’s Health.
• Winona Health participated in the Minnesota Hospital Association’s Safe Account program, complying with 100% of the Safe Site Surgery best practices.
• Surgical/Specialty Services opened a Pain Management Center staffed by Amarjit Virdi, MD and Ruth Moes, MD to meet the community’s need for pain management services.
• Emergency Department (ED) and hospital staff reduced the time and steps for an ED-to-hospital admission, trimming the process by 35%. Urgent Care developed three protocols for the most frequently seen illnesses, reducing visit times by 30% for these patients.
• Primary Care Clinics implemented a diabetic pre-visit process to allow lab and other needed tests to be ordered by protocol before the patient meets with the provider. The provider and patient are then able to review these findings together during the patient’s visit. This process reduced wait times and increased patient time with the provider.
• Winona Health’s Anticoagulation Clinic was relocated to Winona Clinic’s second floor and implemented “point-of-care” testing for patients. This change reduced wait times for test results and eliminated the need for post-visit medication phone calls. Stewardship -
To continue meeting the needs of our community, our goal is to remain an independent, locally controlled, community healthcare system.
• In the face of volume and revenue challenges, Winona Health staff identified cost- reduction actions that resulted in savings of $600,000. Overall cost-saving reductions resulted in a year-over-year decrease of $3,200,000 in expenses. Specific measures were taken to improve cash flow including a reduction of days in accounts receivable from 57 to 49 days. The reduction in accounts receivable and other measures resulted in positive operating cash flow of $2.1 million. Winona Senior Services improved its operating margin by 3.2 percent.
• More than 14,000 individuals were served by Winona Health’s community benefit activities in 2009, including 1,000 student interns from area universities and technical colleges and more than 9,000 individuals served through community health improvement services such as Community Health Talks, support groups, classes, website resources and free community health screenings. Winona Health also expanded its Healthy Kids Club, adding a summer day camp that served 25 low-income children teaching them about healthy lifestyle choices.
• Contributions to the Winona Health Foundation’s Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund exceeded $633,000 in 2009, including the $175,000 raised in the Golf Classic. The fund helped 262 families pay more than $667,000 in medical bills this past year.
• Individuals, families and businesses contributed more than $1,023,654 to the Winona Health Foundation in 2009, with 100% of the Board of Directors and the Senior Leadership Team donating to the Foundation.
• The Winona Health Foundation awarded 107 Guardian Angel pins to staff who were recognized for exceptional service by patients, residents or their family members who made a gift to the Foundation in their honor.
One stop and on your way- Dawn Selleck, RN, takes a blood sample from Bob Gronewold, who says the Anti-Coagulation Clinic’s new point-of-care service has made his appointments faster and easier.

“As nice as it is to hear words of encouragement, the caring touch of a hand was much more comforting to the body and soul.”
- K eith K rousey
Enjoying life- Keith Krousey meets another goal on his path to recovery after a stroke: fishing with his friends.
Winona Health 2009 Community Report | 13
A diff icult, but rewarding journeyAs shared by Keith Krousey
On May 18, 2008, I awoke at 6:30 a.m., went for a three-mile walk, played 18 holes of golf then, later, started taking my deck apart for repairs. I quit working at 7:30 p.m., had supper, watched TV and went to bed fatigued.
The next morning, I awoke to my alarm clock at 6:30 and attempted to shut it off with my left hand. It would not respond. I shut it off with my right hand and tried to get up, but it felt like my left leg also was asleep. I rolled onto my back and tried to sit up. I slid off the bed to the floor, rolled to my stomach and tried to push myself up. Realizing that I may have suffered a stroke, I asked my wife to help me up. She called 911, and I was taken to Winona Health’s Emergency Department and then admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
My first concern was how this would affect my family. I was very anxious and frightened until the nurses and doctors spoke to me about strokes and convinced me that there was a possibility I could recover some of my strength and motor skills with therapy and hard work.
I remember how caring everyone was and learning that as nice as it is to hear words of encouragement, the caring touch of a hand was much more comforting to the body and soul. Those caring for me went out of their way to make us feel special, and their good humor and personal compassion was very uplifting.
Before going home, I spent about four weeks at Lake Winona Manor learning to regain some measure of mobility. The next phase was two weeks of in-home therapy and setting up what was needed for me to be safe at home. Then it was on to Winona Health’s outpatient Physical and Occupational Therapy.
Failure does not deter me; failure just works in my favor as a teaching tool. Nothing that is feasible is impossible if you believe in it and work towards it. I set goals for myself and stick to each one until I have a feeling of accomplishment: a golf outing, our annual guys’ fishing trip, grouse hunting, deer hunting…While I can’t do things the way I used to, my friends have helped me through each milestone. I owe them “big time” and will be forever thankful for having them in my life. I’m grateful to the many visitors and well wishers, including a group of former co-workers, who took the time to stop and see me. Most of all, I’m grateful for all that my wife has done to make life comfortable for me once again.
I will be forever thankful to all the people who worked so hard to help get me to this point in my recuperation. It would be very hard to fathom just how I would have been able to manage if not for the work and compassion of the many people at Winona Health—from the Emergency Department and hospital, to Lake Winona Manor and outpatient Rehabilitation Services. The stroke, while very trying, does have a bright side. Look at all the new things I have learned, not to mention the many new friends that would have remained unknown had it not happened.

Remembering...As shared in a letter by Cathy Jo Faruque
I am still facing a difficult time with the loss of my grandfather. It seems to hit hardest at night time when I am trying to sleep and then that is when memories come flooding back. Isn’t it always the case?
I wanted to share with you and with the staff at Lake Winona Manor how impressed I was with your services and loving care that was given to my grandfather and to all the residents. As I spent three nights in the memory care unit - that last weekend of Grandpa Norman’s life — I was able to observe the staff as they cared for the memory unit resi-dents. I found that every single staff member was caring, attentive and patient. These are people who truly love their jobs and love working with the memory unit residents.
I heard many comments from staff about little things they had learned about Grandpa Norman and how much they enjoyed him the short time he stayed at Lake Winona Manor. It was truly touching. The day he died, all the staff were so kind, and I had a sense that my loss was their loss, too.
I want to thank each and every one of you. I was touched and I am still touched by the great empathy and care that is shown to the residents of Lake Winona Manor. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Her pride and joy - Gertrude Wardwell was able to return to her family home where she raised her family and loved to garden. She died just shy of her 94th birthday.
“At the end, we all knew mom’s wishes and it was up to us to honor them.”

A painful time… filled with blessingsAs shared by the family of Gertrude Wardwell
Words cannot express the heartfelt gratitude we all have for the staff on the medical floor! Your care for Mom and all of us was so attentive and thoughtful. It was a painful and stressful time for us, yet filled with so many blessings.
The professional care was wonderful, and we especially appreciate those who guided us through hospice and discharge arrangements so we could return mom, and all of us, to our family home. We also acknowledge the little comforts of the nutrition cart and use of the family waiting room. Everyone was always so considerate of us and our needs for the whole week our large family spent with you.
I know that mom’s passing also was difficult for Dr. Nolan. He had cared for her for nearly 30 years. At the end, we all knew her wishes, and it was up to all of us to honor them.
The Hospice staff also helped us honor her wishes. Their care greatly eased mom’s transition and was extremely helpful and supportive for all us. Mom passed after three days at home— but her final days were peaceful and content with all of us in the home we shared growing up.
We wish to express our deep appreciation and sincere thanks for your kind expression of sympathy and care.

A new lease on lifeAs shared by Alvin S.
I recently had a complete hip replacement and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for an operation wonderfully accomplished. The final results were fantastic.
For over a year and a half, I had suffered intolerable pains in my legs, and pain medication was virtually ineffective. I could not walk without pain. Every step, every movement was painful 24/7. Life was not worth living because of the constant agony.
Even after the operation, I still experienced pain, but you said, “Be patient, be patient…” You were so correct. The pain left! Now life has once more become worthwhile. In effect, you and your team have given me a “new lease on life” for which I will be eternally grateful.
Rehabilitation in Lake Winona Manor was very successful, and I thank the staff there for being so nice and most helpful to me. Thanks to Winona Health for having you as a surgeon [Tim Gabrielsen, MD, orthopedic surgeon]. I not only consider you a wonderful surgeon, but also a great friend because you respected my personal preference in the operation, which I appreciate.
“May God Bless you and your team and Winona Health.”
- Alvin S.
Compassion and respect- Alvin S. visits with orthopaedic surgeon Tim Gabrielsen, MD, at Winona Health Sports & Orthopaedic Specialists. Alvin said he felt like he had a new lease on life after hip replacement surgery.

From the community, For the community-
20 | Winona Health 2009 Community Report
FROM THE FOUNDATION BOARD CHAIR:
In my own words...Winona Health is so special because of what I call the “Marcus Welby M.D.” factor. This was a television series from the ‘70s. Marcus Welby, MD, and his trusted nurse, Consuela, did not treat patients – they treated people with kindness and consideration. The thing I love about Winona Health is we have the Marcus Welby and Consuela factor everywhere you look. My entire family has been touched by the Marcus Welby factor. My mother-in-law doesn’t mind a visit to the Emergency Department if she can see Dr. Brett Whyte. My parents think the world of Dr. Dan Parker and Traci Morken, nurse practitioner. Dr. Carlos Morales once treated my scared little girl not as a patient, but as a scared little girl. Liz McGrory, RN, looked after my mother after surgery like she was her own mom. In every case I was deeply concerned for my loved ones. And when you are deeply concerned for your loved ones, you want everyone to treat them with kindness and consideration. And that is what they received in every care situation at Winona Health. This is very personal for me and it’s why I love Winona Health. But the economic disruption caused by the recession threatens one of the things I value most about our local health system: the Marcus Welby factor. Unemployment hasn’t been this bad since 1982. It has brought more people through our doors who have no job, no healthcare insurance and no way to pay for their medical care. We do not turn anyone away, regardless of their ability to pay. But I always remember that these people aren’t just faceless names. They are our neighbors and our friends. And they need our help. Winona Health can’t afford to treat them without the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund. But the Fund has been hurt by the recession, too. It can’t keep up with the increased need without your help. Your generosity created the Fund in 1982. And your friends and your neighbors need your generosity now, more than ever. I appeal to you to make a donation to the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund today. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money; a small amount would be terrific. Please help me keep the Marcus Welby factor alive and well at Winona Health.
Sincerely,
Steve Blue Foundation Board Chair

Providing peace of mind to individuals and families To all Telecare volunteers who made those 9 a.m. phone calls to Mom every day since November—
It added such security and brightness to her days and gave her children peace of mind. She so looked forward to each call to get her day started right. Thanks for such a simple act that made our Mom’s last months a joy. Bless you all!
As shared by a thankful family

In my 30s, I decided to quit my job of thirteen years and enroll in school full time to become a nurse. I knew I wanted to help others and make an impact on other people’s lives.
In the fall of 2008, I started experiencing severe back pain. I was without health insurance, but I knew I needed help. I went to Winona Health where medical staff discovered through an MRI exam that I had a herniated disk. I was treated by Paul Honer, MRI technologist and Ruth Moes, MD. Both Paul and Dr. Moes were wonderful. Paul was very personable and made me feel comfortable with the MRI process. Dr. Moes was very professional, yet also down to earth, so I felt like I could ask her a lot of questions about my pain and also about my healthcare career. The cortisone injections I received provided relief from my back pain which I was very grateful for.
Being a student was my full-time job so I didn’t have health insurance. I knew ahead of time that I wouldn’t be able to afford my medical bills from my herniated disk and, when I shared that information, I was referred to Winona Health’s patient financial services representative Jean Dzwonkowski about my options. She told me about the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund and gave me the application.
When I learned that I was qualified and my bill was taken care of through the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund, I was more than grateful. It was such a relief to know that I could continue to focus on school rather than worry about how I was going to pay for my medical debt. I can’t thank Winona Health and those who give to the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund enough for the care and assistance they gave me.
As I continue down my career path, I hope to one day help others the way Winona Health helped me.
A Grateful Patient As shared in a letter by Tim M.

It feels good to have that taken care of… As shared by Ken Mogren Our story is like many. We had simple wills drafted long ago and filed them away. Time passed. Our kids grew up. Our financial situation improved and became more complicated. We came to appreciate some favorite charities, and we knew it would be good to do some serious estate planning. But we didn’t really know where to start and it was easier to just procrastinate. Then we saw an opportunity to get this off the back burner, thanks to Winona Health Foundation’s Charitable Estate Planning program, and we’re really glad we did. Working with the independent estate planning professionals through the Winona Health Foundation, we were guided through a helpful process that put all the important questions before us. It took some thought and discussion of things we’d never talked much about, but we ended up very clear about how we want our estate distributed. The estate planning experts presented options, explained tax ramifications and showed detailed financial illustrations of how things would work out. They also made themselves available to consult with our local attorney in drafting the final documents. We chose to include some non-profit organizations, including Winona Health, in our estate plan, but the Foundation made it very clear at the outset there was no obligation to be charitable. Nor was there ever any attempt to influence who would benefit from our estate. Our desire for confidentiality was respected, and our plan can be changed any time we choose. Our only cost was the fee from our attorney for preparing the documents. There was no charge for the hours of work and expert advice from the estate planners.
As shared by Sally Mogren Not being a financial person myself, I appreciated the opportunity to learn about this process from someone who had the patience and understanding to really explain things. Talking with an estate planner made it easy for us to begin the planning process. He gave us a questionnaire to do on our own. It was a great communication tool, and I enjoyed seeing what my husband and I agreed on when it came to estate planning and charitable giving. We also have three children with unique personalities and, as we looked to the future, we enjoyed discussing our expectations and dreams for each of our children. I know that every day is a gift. It was a comfort to be able to have an active part in planning the future, and it feels good to know that our plan is in place.
Now is a good time- If estate planning is on your back burner, you are not alone. The Mogrens took the next step and they are glad they did.

All the comforts of home- Thanks to the Winona Health Auxilia ry
The Winona Health Auxiliary’s 389 volunteers contributed a total of 36,245 hours. Using the current U.S. average hourly value for volunteer time, that amounts to a gift equivalent to $707,140 in service time to Winona Health.
This winter and for winters to come, Watkins Manor residents and their family and friends will enjoy the warmth and atmosphere created by a new fireplace. In addition to warmth, the fireplace creates a picturesque area for residents to meet—or to welcome guests to their home in Watkins Manor.
The fireplace was purchased with funds donated by the Winona Health Auxiliary. Auxiliary volunteers help Winona Health purchase items that enhance the quality of life for residents, and the addition of the fireplace in the front lobby at Watkins Manor, an assisted living residence, has added warmth and enhanced the feeling of home.
“Our residents comment on how nice it is to sit by a fire on days when the weather is cold and dark. It generates conversations about warming up after coming in from outside and time spent with family around a fireplace in the past,” Winona Health Assisted Living manager Cheryl Krage said.
“Winona Health Auxiliary volunteers are dedicated to raising funds for Winona Health because they know that the money raised will enrich the lives of our patients and residents,” said Volunteer Services manager Autumn Herber. Thanks to the generosity of Winona Health Auxiliary volunteers, when the days are cold and dark this winter, Watkins Manor residents will enjoy gathering around the fireplace while catching up and reminiscing with family and friends.
By the f ire- Arline B. enjoys the warmth of a new fireplace at Watkins Manor assisted living.

Appreciating Guardian AngelsThe Winona Health Foundation’s Guardian Angel program allows people to recognize a physician, nurse or other staff member who made a difference in the life of a Winona Health patient or resident. When a gift is made to the Foundation in honor of a guardian angel, that staff member receives an acknowledgement letter and a special lapel pin.

Winona Health’s commitment to the health and well-being of the community is shown by its donating the use of land to the Wahapasaha’s Prairie Garden. The Wahapasaha Prairie Garden will expand in 2010 from 30 to 50 plots. In addition to growing food for their own tables, many gardeners donated part of their harvest to charitable organizations. Winona Health Food and Nutrition staff tended a plot to enhance meals served at Winona Health. Gardeners also planted, tended and harvested a “hunger garden” plot and donated food to Winona’s Food Shelf and Winona’s Catholic Worker houses.
