Joseph Kaiya, MD

Board certified Internal Medicine physician, Joseph Kaiya, MD, has joined the Winona Health medical staff. Dr. Kaiya is a hospitalist.

Hospitalists are physicians who focus solely on caring for patients while they are hospitalized. They work closely with each patient’s primary physician along with care coordination teams including nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, respiratory and physical therapists, social workers and other specialty care staff.

Dr. Kaiya chose Winona Health because, “I went to school in Minnesota, and I have family here. I’m interested in being part of a community, and I was surprised that a city this size could have a healthcare organization like this. Working environment is important to me, and I like the sense of camaraderie at Winona Health.”

After earning his Medical Degree at The University of Nairobi College of Health Sciences in Nairobi, Kenya, he completed his Internal Medicine residency at Highland hospital, Alameda Health System in Oakland, Ca. He’s also done Master’s work in Public Health at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and is hoping to graduate next summer.

Dr. Kaiya recently moved back to Rochester where his family resides. He is familiar with Winona and is excited to be back in this area.
