Welcome toHealthy ConnectionsFo e Pesiden/CEO
W
e are fortunate in Winona. Our
community is strong, thriving and
diverse in a number of ways. And while there
are many strong businesses and industries
represented in Winona, the healthcare sector
has its role to fulfill. We at Winona Health
recognize the critical responsibility of
providing high quality, effective healthcare in
our community, and we are honored to do
our part.
Healthcare has an impact on all of our lives,
whether we are dealing with personal health
issues, concerned about healthcare costs,expecting high quality care and service, or hoping our health will hold up so
we dont need healthcare services. At Winona Health we are committed to a
revolutionary transformation of community healthcare, and we are excited
about what this means for patients, residents and the community. Our
challenge is to meet your changing needs and to exceed your expectations.
You will read in this issue how the focus of physicians and staff has resulted
in nationally recognized outcomes and how key procedures can change
someones life. This happens every day at Winona Health.
I am so impressed with the quality and caliber of physicians in our community.
We have a number of outstanding new physicians on our medical staff andrecruitment efforts continue to attract others. We also have said good-bye
to some physicians as they make their own life changes, and we wish them
the best.
The communitys physicians, and our staff, too, work together with a single
focuscaring for you and your family. It is our pleasure to serve you and we
thank you for giving us the opportunity to do so.

Ophthalmologist LaurelQuinn, MD, will openthe Winona Health Eye Care
Center in October.
My husband and I chose
to come to Winona for the
opportunity to fill a real
needto provide important
services to this community,
said Dr. Quinn. I believe my
career goals fit well with the
mission of Winona Health: to
provide great comprehensiveprimary care.
I chose to go into medicine so I could use my scientific
curiosity and communication skills to help people, explained
Dr. Quinn. I chose ophthalmology as a speciality because
vision is so important to people every day. It is so rewarding
to be able to make things better for people in a way they can
SEE, using optics and surgery.
She added, Another factor that attracted me to ophthalmology
is that Ill be able to see patients of all ages. A general
ophthalmologist with an
interest in pediatrics,
Dr. Quinn underwent
specialized training in
child development during
medical school and has
done extensive clinical
research with children
during her ophthalmol-
ogy training.
Dr. Quinn received her
medical degree from the
University of MinnesotaMedical School in
Minneapolis and completed her residency at the Casey Eye
Institute at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland,
Oregon. She is a member of the American Academy of
Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and
Refractive Surgery.
New to Winona but native Minnesotans, Dr. Quinn and her
husband, Jason, have two young daughters, Grace and Faith.
My husband and I are also looking forward to living closer
to those of our relatives who are still in the state.
This new Winona Health Physician Clinic will be located
on the third floor of the new medical office building on
Winona Healths campus. If you would like to make an
appointment with Dr. Quinn, please call 507.474.7830.
Eye Care Center opening soonSurgeries performed by
Dr. Quinn include:Cataract extraction with
intraocular lens implantation
Laser treatment of diabetic
retinopathy and other retinal
vascular disease and glaucoma
Filtering surgery for glaucoma
Eye alignment surgery for
strabismus
Eyelid repair procedures
Laurel Quinn, MD
To preserve and protect yourvision, Dr. Quinn advises:1. Take care of your general health to minimize the
threat to vision posed by out-of-control systemic
diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and tobacco
dependence.
2. Use appropriate protective eyewear for sporting and
work-related tasks known to be high risk for eye injuriessuch as paintball, hockey, and metal or woodworking.
3. Your health history and current health may affect the
health of your eyes. Regular exams will often help
detect problems before specific symptoms develop.
Early detection and treatment of possible eye problems
is the key to protecting your vision. If you have a
family history of eye disease or are experiencing any
eye problems, talk to your doctor.

Its been a long journey, but these days Elizabeth Waters isfinding that the path is more comfortable to walk.Ive had knee problems for about five years, and I was tired
of limping around, explained Waters. When Traci [Morken,
CNP at Winona Clinic*] told me that an orthopaedic surgeon
was coming to Winona, I said, I want to be the first patient!
Tim Gabrielsen, MD, joined Winona Health on May 31 and
performed Waters total knee replacement at Community
Memorial Hospital on June 13.
The knee is the largest joint in the body; because of the
work it performs on a daily basis, it is one of the more
common joints to develop problems. One of these problems
is degenerative joint disease, also commonly referred to as
osteoarthritis. This disease is the gradual deterioration of
the joint surface cartilage caused by time and use.
Early signs of joint disease or osteoarthritis include jointstiffness and, eventually, pain during motion of the affected
joint, explained Dr. Gabrielsen. The pain may increase
during extended activityespecially weight-bearing activity
on the kneesand decrease with rest. Diagnosis is based on
medical history, physical exam and use of digital imaging
or x-ray.

Mrs. Waters wanted
to remain active, and
she was feeling very
restricted by her
knee pain, said Dr.
Gabrielsen. Waters wasa good candidate for
surgery because, shes
at a healthy weight and
she had exhausted
non-operative measures.
Shes also in good
general health.
Individuals are possible
candidates for joint
replacement when they
have advanced arthritic changes in the knee along with pain
that significantly limits their physical abilityboth for daily
living and for activities they enjoy. If an individual has knee
pain that significantly impacts their quality of life and their
ability to remain independent, replacement may be a good
option for them, said Dr. Gabrielsen.
Waters, a fit 78-year-old, is pleased with the results of
her total knee replacement. I absolutely recommend
that others look into this type of surgery, said Waters.
I was very satisfied with the surgical team. Dr. Gabrielsen
is very warm, caring and concerned. He was straight-
forward and realistic about what to expectno beating
around the bush!
Less than six weeks after her surgery, Waters said, I feel
great, and Im about ready to take a walk around the lake!
I think Dr. Gabrielsen is satisfied with my progress, too.
For more information about orthopaedic procedures
available in Winona, contact your primary care physician
or call Winona Health Sports & Orthopaedic Specialists
at 507.474.6600.

new knee wi D. Gabielsen.
What can be done to decrease the risk
of developing joint problems?
Maintain a healthy body weight and maintain strength in
general, but especially in the muscles supporting the affected
joints, advises Diane Montgomery, a physical therapist with
Winona Health Rehabilitation Services. These measures
dont guarantee that you wont develop degenerative joint
disease, but they will reduce the risk.
What should you do when you begin
experiencing pain in your knees?
Talk to your doctor about getting an evaluation, said
Montgomery. He or she may refer you to physical therapy
for specific exercises to help correct muscle imbalances and
increase specific muscle strengthor recommend
alternative methods to ease discomfort.
Montgomery also noted, Generally, it is recommended that
you continue exercising within your bodys tolerance so you
dont aggravate the condition that is causing pain.
If youve been diagnosed with
degenerative joint disease/
osteoarthritis, you can help
minimize the effects by
participating in low-impact
activities to promote strength
and range of motion.
When other measures are no
longer effective, joint
replacement may be the
answer. After joint replacement,
Montgomery stresses theimportance of following your
doctors orders regarding
restricted activity and encourages patients to follow through
with rehabilitation recommendations to maximize strength
and improve range of motion.

The right fuel for school
Another school year rolls in, and for parents, morningsare busy getting ready for work and getting childrenready for school. Fortunately, making sure children have
the right fuel for a productive day doesnt have to take a lot
of time.
According to Rose Gurley, RD, a Winona Health diabetes
educator and outpatient dietician, Breakfast is important
because it gives us fuel to start the day. It nourishes the
brain and body and provides
energy for us to think and
perform physical activities.
Breakfast is also essential in
helping children do well in
school. Gurley noted that
eating breakfast has proven
to help improve concentra-
tion, problem-solving skills,
mental performance and
mood. School can be tough
enough, said Gurley. And
when kids skip breakfast,
there is the extra stress of
working harder to concentrate on reading or solving a
math problem.
Quick options for breakfast include a bowl of cereal withmilk, dry whole grain cereal with yogurt or milk, and fruit
with toast. If your kids arent hungry for breakfast, send them
to school with a healthy mid-morning snack. Portable items
include whole grain crackers, a hardboiled egg, granola
breakfast bar or even a peanut butter sandwich.
Gurley also emphasized the importance of breakfast in
controlling obesity. Eating breakfast is important for weight
control. If children skip breakfast, they may be more likely
to overeat and snack on high-fat, sugary foods that lead to
excess weight gain and later obesity.
If parents want their children to develop healthy eating
habits, one of the most important things for parents to do is
to be good role models, said Gurley. And eating a healthy
breakfast will help parents have a good day, too!
With the fast pace of everyday life, it can be difficult to be
proactively involved in helping children eat healthfullybut
the effort will be worth the result: a child who has the right
fuel for a productive day.

Community Memorial Hospital received a 2006 Premier
Award for Quality for its care of acute myocardial infarction
(AMI/heart attack) patients.
Receiving the Premier Award for Quality reflects the fact
that our staff and the communitys physicians are
committed to offering the
highest quality patient care
every day, said Rachelle
Schultz, Winona Health CEO.
Grace Glomski of Fountain
City was one of the
community members who
benefited from Community
Memorial Hospitals
award-winning care when
she had a heart attack in
September 2005.
Graces storyAfter mowing her yard on a
warm September afternoon,
Grace, 92, began having a
strange sensation between
her stomach and her chest.
I thought it might be
heartburn, said Grace.
I had never had heartburn,
but I had never had this
pain either until a few
days earlierand then it
went away.
This time, though, it wasnt
going away; it was spreading.
I started wondering ifsomething was wrong with
my heart. Grace said she called her daughter-in-law to ask
if she should take an aspirin. Fortunately, her daughter-in-
law and son immediately got her to the hospital.
In the Emergency Department at Community Memorial
Hospital (CMH), Grace said she remembers thinking,
I wanted to stay close to home. The closer to home
the better!
Road to recoveryGrace spent four days under the care of the nursing team in
Winona Healths Intensive Care Unit and Winona Clinics
Dennis Nolan, MD.
I had very good care
in the hospital. I was
very happy with my
nurseseven though
I dont like to be
waited on, said Grace.
And I really like Dr.Nolan, she added.
Hes kind of a smart
guy. He had me fig-
ured out. I remember
the day I was leaving
the hospital, Dr. Nolan
said, Now dont go
out and mow your
lawn when you get
home!
A year later, Grace
said, Im doing just
fine. My only problem
is my hip and I have
to take pain medicine
for that sometimes.
But Im 92 years
old, and I can live
with that.
Graces daughter, Joy
Schmidtknecht, added,
Shes still very independent, and shes about the great-
est mom anyone could ever have. She has a great sense of
humor.
Being able to provide expert care for people when they
need us the most makes this job very rewarding, said Peggy
Krage-Koenig, RN, the nurse who helped care for Grace
in the Emergency Department.

CMH earned the Premier Awardfor
high quality, cost effective treatment of
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) based
on clinical process measures, clinical
quality outcome measures and resource
utilization. The award is based on data
submitted to Premier, Inc. for reporting
and benchmarking purposes.
Winona Health was awarded the
Minnesota Quality Award
Advancement Level in recognition of
progress in building and deploying
systematic approaches in leadership,
strategic planning, customer service
and market focus.
Winona Healths Community Memorial
Hospital is ranked one of the Most
WiredSmall & Rural Hospitals for the
fifth consecutive year. Winona Health
won the award for using information
technology to improve quality,
satisfaction and patient care.
Commitment to excellenceGrace is one of many patients who have come to CMH for
heart attack treatment. Consistently doing the right thing
for patients put us in the position to win the Premier award,
said Charles Shepard, MD, Winona Health medical director.
Written pathways and protocols assure the most up-to-datecare for patients with myocardial infarction, unstable angina
and heart failure.
Community Memorial Hospital has been on the leading
edge of care for heart patients for a long time, noted
Dr. Shepard. We participated in the first TIMI [thrombolysis
in myocardial infarction] trial which showed the benefit of
opening clotted arteries of heart patients, he said.
He added, We continue to collaborate with our tertiary
care partners in Rochester and La Crosse. Weve
developed an organized and consistent approach involving
initial diagnosis and care in Winona, followed by transfer
for emergency coronary angiography and angioplasty
when needed.
Community Memorial Hospital physicians and staff
accepted the Premier Award for Quality for treatment of
acute myocardial infarction (AMI/heart attack) patients at a
special presentation on July 27. The award recognizes not
only consistent high quality care, but also efficient use of
resources.
In accepting the award, Dr. Shepard emphasized the
contributions of Andrew Edin, MD, a guiding influence for
the medical staff; Mary Volkart, RN, a leader in nursing
care; Marc Dummit, MD, Emergency Department medical
director; and Brett Whyte, MD, medical director for the
Winona Area Ambulance Service. These people, along withtheir staffs, are strong links in the chain of care.

Community commentsOn February 1st, my wife and I were blessed with the birth
of our first child, Christian. He was delivered by C-section
at Winona Health by Dr. Birdsall and your wonderful staff.
The delivery went flawlessly and as new fathers go, I was
overwhelmed with all that was going on. Once we made it
to the [Family Birth Center] and our little bundle was
with us, the shock of what do we do now? was gently
alleviated by the nurturing and guiding expertise of
Tweety [Amparo Oevering] and Wendy [Jandt]. These
compassionate professionals not only cared for us, but
helped teach us some of the basics.
We are truly grateful to everyone and look forward to
having our next family member at Winona Health!

P.S. We thought the special dinner was a nice touch and
the food was excellent!
At first I was walking to the ER and noticed the [Urgent Care]
sign in front. I was extremely happy to see this service now
available: less expensive, less waiting and use of ER time that
could be spent on emergency care. I was having a reaction to
a bee sting and felt I couldnt wait until Monday. I was in and
out in much less time. Thank you!

Recognition from theState of Minnesota
On behalf of the
Governors cabinet, I
would like to thank you
and your staff for hosting
the Health Cabinet at
your facility. Winona
Health is the benchmark
for Health Information
Technology (HIT) in
Minnesota. I commend
you and your organization
for the outstanding work.
As we see more facilities
moving [toward
implementation of HIT],
there is a roadblock that
many have not been able
to accomplish: interconnectivity. Winona Health has done this
and Minnesotas care facilities need to look to you as
the leader.
Winona Healths accomplishments show the State of
Minnesota that we can have an interoperable HIT system.
We look forward to working with you as you lead the way to
the 21st Century health care system.
