From the President/CEO:

New appreciation for healthcare

I am passionate about local healthcare and its value to the community. I see firsthand
every day the difference the people who work at Winona Health make in the lives of
our families, friends and neighbors.
In September, I unexpectedly became a patient of our local and regional healthcare
systems. While driving home from a conference, I lost my vision. Fortunately, my
colleague safely guided us to the side of the road. She wanted to take me to the
hospital, but, of course, I “felt fine.” However, hearing the concern in her voice, I called
one of our local physicians who advised me to be seen immediately; since I was in Rachelle Schultz
Rochester, he told me to stop in the ER there. So I did. It was still unclear what had President/CEO
happened, as my initial tests came back fine. I was kept overnight for more tests, and
the physicians diagnosed a small stroke. Further tests identified a hole in my heart
(from birth) from which a clot had escaped, so I had a procedure to close the hole.
Winona Health ’s
Thanks to advanced medical technology, clinical protocols, and skilled physicians and
staff in both Winona and Rochester, my healthcare experience had a great outcome.
Senior management
I am fine, healthy and back to my normal activities. I know firsthand the vulnerability
team
a patient feels. And I also know firsthand the feeling of care and compassion that Rachelle Schultz
can only come from those who have made a commitment to patients/residents. President/CEO
The stories you will read in this Annual Report resonate in my heart as I am sure they Mike Allen
will in yours—this is real life. Chief Financial Officer
Loretta Bronson
In addition, my advocacy for high quality, local healthcare and strong regional Chief Communication Officer
relationships has grown, and my personal commitment to Winona Health’s mission
Nancy Brown
has taken on a deeper meaning. All of us who work for our community healthcare Executive Director of
system pledge to continue improving our patients’ healthcare experiences. Please Development
know that your support and patronage of our healthcare services is deeply appreciated. Sara Gabrick, RN, MSN

 From the Board Chair:

A moment to reflect
It’s with great pride that Winona Health’s Board of Directors reviews the organization’s
2006 accomplishments, knowing that they serve as building blocks for even greater
things to come.
And “building blocks” is an apt phrase. Winona Health’s most visible change was the
completion of its $32 million building project, which houses state-of-the-art surgical
suites and an Outpatient Diagnostic Center for Lab and Imaging Services. In addition,
the three-story Medical Office Building now includes two new Winona Health Physician
Clinics on the third floor—a Sports & Orthopaedic Clinic and an Eye Care Center. This
new building also allowed Winona Clinic, an independent physician clinic, to move
Gary Evans onto campus. So the community’s primary healthcare providers—including Family
Winona Health Medicine of Winona—are now conveniently located in one area.
Board Chair
This close proximity has led to increased collaboration. Winona Health and the independent
physician clinics now have a united recruitment strategy to bring additional healthcare
providers to the area. This collaborative approach has resulted in the hiring of seven
new providers, which means better local access to healthcare services.
Those local services are top notch: Community Memorial Hospital scores in the top ten
percent for its care of heart attack and pneumonia patients, when compared to 300
peer hospitals involved in the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services’ project to improve
patient care. Premier recognized CMH as a “top performing” hospital in its care for heart
attack patients, and Winona Health Home Care received national recognition as a “best
practice agency” for preventing patient rehospitalization.
I also am very proud of my colleagues for approving a program that requires each
board member to complete 20 hours of healthcare governance education each year,
something that is essential in this day of increasingly complex issues.
We have much to be proud of in our local healthcare system, which was established
112 years ago. All of us involved with Winona Health pledge to build on these strengths
to ensure “best practice” healthcare for years to come.

The most precious gift: Time together


After almost 61 years of marriage, Gene and Louise Bell
are inseparable. When health issues brought Louise to the Emergency
Department at Winona Health’s Community Memorial Hospital (CMH),
Gene was right by her side. Louise was admitted to the hospital, and her
doctor determined that she needed exploratory surgery.

After successful surgery, Louise began her recovery in CMH’s Intensive Care
Unit (ICU). “I spent most of the nights with her in the ICU, and I was well
taken care of, too,” said Gene. “I got to know a lot of the staff, and those
nurses were on the ball. They took such good care of her.

“One day a lady stopped in and brought us cookies. It was just so

thoughtful,” Gene said. “After she left, someone told me it was the
CEO [Rachelle Schultz].”

When Louise was stable enough to leave ICU, she spent two weeks in
the hospital’s Medical/Surgical unit then began rehabilitation at Winona
Health’s Lake Winona Manor.

Louise is happily back home again and says of her healthcare experience:
“I felt like I was being taken care of. All the nurses were so caring. And I
always knew Gene was there. I’m just so used to having him with me—
and, of course, that helped. I’m doing great—I really am. I’m not as
strong as I used to be,” she laughs, “but I’m not as young either!”

Remembering the weeks of waiting for Louise to recover and grow

strong enough to return home, Gene’s voice fills with emotion, “Everyone
at the hospital was just so wonderful. And we made it through…we all
made it.”
Today Mother had difficulty threading a small, fine needle
for her sewing machine. She needed help, and who did she meet in the hallway
but Paul, the maintenance manager. He threaded the needle on the first try,
according to Mother. Wow, was she impressed! And the kindness that he
extended to her reinforced all her special feelings for the Watkins Manor staff.
You may regard this incident as small, but she claimed this made her day,
enabling her to use her sewing machine for her mending. (Remember how
important mending is to a depression-era lady!)
I wanted to pass this on as one more example of your special place in this
world that I hear about all the time. Please thank Paul. And, again, thank you
for creating the culture that makes Watkins Manor so special.
~ As told by the son of Watkins Manor resident Marie


It’s the little things


A family bond

10
There is a special bond between a father and a son.
That bond manifests itself in many ways, and, for my Dad and me, it involved
baseball. In 1956, when I was five years old, my dad bought me my first ball, bat
and glove. He taught me to how to throw and catch the ball and how to swing
the kid-sized “Louisville Slugger.” I remember him coming to watch me play:
I was never any good, but that didn’t matter to him.
In 1987 I took my parents to games six and seven of the World Series. Together
we watched our Twins clobber the Cardinals and win the Series. It’s hard to put
into words how incredibly special that whole experience was. Anyone who
knows my father knows how much he loves sports, especially baseball. For me
it was a way to say thanks, and to experience that special bond again.
The amazing people who work at Lake Winona Manor accomplished some-
thing truly wonderful: a trip to the Metrodome in Minneapolis for a bus load
of residents to see the Twins play. Somehow they managed to get a skybox
on the second level above right field. It was an amazing day for the residents,
volunteers (how grateful I was to be one of them!) and staff.
I know my dad had a great time. For me, it wasn’t so much about being at a
Twins game. It was about being with my father, sharing the bond of baseball
that now spans half a century. That fun, crazy and unexpected Lake Winona
Manor Twins outing was a life event that touched my heart, and I will cherish
it forever.
~ As told by Kevin Thode, son of a Lake Winona Manor resident
If not for the expertise of Community Memorial Hospital’s
Family Birth Center team, our holidays may not have been so happy. Before
our baby was born, we had heard from several friends about the wonderful
staff in the Family Birth Center, but we were still pleasantly surprised when
they exceeded our high expectations. From the birthing class to the
post-labor care, we experienced the service, support and compassion that
we had heard about from others. And, in our family’s case, the nursing staff
had to perform well beyond what is normal…

During the birth of our daughter, my blood pressure dropped to a

dangerous level, and I felt the room starting to go black. I recall hearing
that my blood pressure was 58/28, and, as a healthcare professional (I’m a
paramedic), I knew I was in trouble. In that instant, I thought I was going
to die, and I remember telling my husband to “tell her that I love her, and I
love you, too!”

I believe that had it not been for the close monitoring and quick actions
of your Family Birth Center team, I would not be here to see my daughter
grow up. Your staff is wonderful, and we know that we owe my life to them.
Without them, Bailey’s life may have been very different. Our hope is to
have more children, and our plan is to have them right here in Winona.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

~ As told by Heather and Brad Grinsteinner

 A tradition of sharing
From the Foundation Board Chair:

Do you read magazines from the front, back or middle? Depending how far from
this particular page you started, you might have noticed the recurring theme that
runs through this publication. That theme is “sharing,” and what a perfect theme it
is for what the Winona Health Foundation is all about!
Because so many of you have experienced the joy that comes from sharing your
gifts with the Winona Health Foundation, the list of benefactors on the following
pages is impressively long. On behalf of the Foundation, I want to thank all of our
donors for their generosity.
I also want to acknowledge and thank the people who comprise the Winona
Ken Mogren Health Foundation Board of Directors. These people share generously of their
Winona Health Foundation time and talents in serving our community through their involvement in the
Board Chair Foundation.
The sharing that comes from so many people in so many ways enables the
Foundation to assist Winona Health in carrying out its mission of “improving the
health and well-being of our family, friends and neighbors.” Woven tightly into
that mission are the principles of caring and sharing.
Winona Health wouldn’t be the fine healthcare organization it is today without
the tradition of sharing that exists in our community. As Winona Health strives
to become an even better organization, it’s important to continue that tradition
of sharing into the future. The Winona Health Foundation is dedicated to
that purpose.

Seeing the Difference in Winona Health
We often take our health for granted, not realizing our lives
could change in the blink of an eye. That is exactly what
happened to Bill, a hard-working local farmer who began
losing his vision.
Ophthalmologist Tom Casperson, MD*, diagnosed a rare and
progressive form of cataracts. Dr. Casperson, along with Winona
Health’s surgical staff, performed laser and lens implant surgery
on Bill’s right eye to restore his sight. When Bill began losing
sight in his left eye a few months later, Dr. Casperson again
recommended surgery. Bill wanted to proceed, but began
to worry about his ability to pay.
“My first surgery was a blessing, and I couldn’t have been told my surgeries were paid for, I felt a huge sense of relief and
happier with the care I received and outcome. To continue was overcome with emotion. I am so grateful for the Winona
farming, I knew I needed the surgery for my left eye,” Bill said. Health Foundation and those who have donated money to the

their care and compassion. As another token of her appreciation,
Pearl also has brought her doctors canned pickles from her garden.
The Winona Health Foundation is grateful to donors like Pearl

her mother set an example, Pearl continues to demonstrate
