From the President/Ceo:

new appreciation for healthcareI 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 Rochester, he told me to stop in the ER there. So I did. It was still unclear what had 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.

Thanks to advanced medical technology, clinical protocols, and skilled physicians and staff in both Winona and Rochester, my healthcare experience had a great outcome. I am fine, healthy and back to my normal activities. I know firsthand the vulnerability a patient feels. And I also know firsthand the feeling of care and compassion that can only come from those who have made a commitment to patients/residents. The stories you will read in this Annual Report resonate in my heart as I am sure they will in yours—this is real life.

In addition, my advocacy for high quality, local healthcare and strong regional relationships has grown, and my personal commitment to Winona Health’s mission has taken on a deeper meaning. All of us who work for our community healthcare system pledge to continue improving our patients’ healthcare experiences. Please know that your support and patronage of our healthcare services is deeply appreciated.

From the Board Chair:

A moment to ref lect 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 onto campus. So the community’s primary healthcare providers—including Family Medicine of Winona—are now conveniently located in one area.

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

A family bond

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.

From the Foundation Board Chair:

A tradition of sharingDo 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 Health Foundation Board of Directors. These people share generously of their time and talents in serving our community through their involvement in the 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.

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 happier with the care I received and outcome. To continue farming, I knew I needed the surgery for my left eye,” Bill said. “But, being self-employed, I can’t afford health insurance so I didn’t know what to do.”

Bill was referred to a Winona Health patient account representative who told him about the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund. It is designed to help meet unexpected medical expenses incurred at Winona Health. Bill completed an application and met the Fund’s qualifications; both his eye surgeries were paid in full.

“I wouldn’t have had the second eye surgery if I hadn’t been informed about the Patient Care Fund,” Bill said. “I would have gone blind and, more than likely, not have been able to farm or enjoy hobbies such as fishing and working on cars. When I was

told my surgeries were paid for, I felt a huge sense of relief and was overcome with emotion. I am so grateful for the Winona Health Foundation and those who have donated money to the Patient Care Fund to help people in my situation.”

The late Benjamin A. Miller established the fund in honor of his wife Adith. In 2006, the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund helped 230 individuals cover $528,000 in medical expenses. The Fund raises money through individual donations, the annual Ben & Adith Miller Golf Classic, which raised more than $150,000 in 2006, and the Ben & Adith Miller Tribute. To learn more, please call 507.457.4579.

Growing up on a dairy farm near Lewiston, Pearl and her family understood the importance of hard work, generosity and giving back. In the 1930s, a terrible snowstorm hit during the night and lasted three days, causing a train to derail near their family farm. The men working on the train, shivering from the subzero temperatures, soon came knocking on their farmhouse door looking for food and shelter.

Pearl, 20 years old at the time, clearly remembers her mother in the kitchen making warm plates of food for the freight train workers. When a grateful gentleman offered Pearl’s mother spare change for the family’s hospitality, she declined, saying,

“Our family doesn’t charge; we give.” Those powerful words made a lasting impact on Pearl, who, now in her 90s, continues to live by her mother’s example and gives to those in need.

For more than 30 years, Winona Health’s Community Memorial Hospital has been a recipient of Pearl’s generosity. Her donations started, Pearl remembers, when she spent almost two months at the hospital tending to a brother who was dying of cancer. In gratitude for the care he received, she began making donations.

“I like giving to the Winona Health Foundation because they reach out and help so many people,” said Pearl. She especially appreciates the hospital’s staff, who more recently have cared for her as well. “Dr. Morales, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Retzinger have all taken such good care of me. I am so appreciative of my doctors and the staff in Parkview Pharmacy for always looking after me.”

Pearl has made both memorial and tribute gifts to the Winona Health Foundation. Several of her gifts honor the ambulance service, the police and fire departments, as well as her doctors for 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 who believe in the generosity of giving. More than 70 years after her mother set an example, Pearl continues to demonstrate how well she learned that lesson in giving.

Acts of kindness happen every day at Winona Health, thanks to our caring volunteers. More than 300 men and women make a difference for our patients, residents and their families. Rita Sullivan is one volunteer who has given her time, talent and treasure since 1980. She has graciously volunteered more than 12,000 hours to the Winona Health Auxiliary.

“It makes me feel good to volunteer for such a worthwhile organization,” said Rita. “Holiday Happiness is the busiest time for me, but I really enjoy it. I like feeling useful, and I’ve made some wonderful friends along the way.”

Rita has served as the Glady D. Miller Gift Shop treasurer for 23 years. “I like staying active and being useful,” she explained. “The Auxiliary does so many wonderful things with the money raised from gift shop sales, and that makes me feel good.”

Winona Health Auxiliary volunteers serve in a variety of roles throughout the healthcare system. “We are very grateful for each of our volunteers and the positive difference they have

made in the lives of our patients, residents and our staff,” said Autumn Herber, Volunteer Services Coordinator. To learn more about Winona Health volunteer opportunities, contact Autumn at 507.457.4394.
