Winona Health welcomed Phil Sonnenberg to its board of directors in January.

Sonnenberg believes that Winona Health is a vital part of the community. He said, “Without the services and assistance provided by Winona Health, our community members would be unable to obtain equitable and accessible healthcare.”

As a board member, Sonnenberg said he’s “looking forward to assisting with the betterment of healthcare and working alongside likeminded individuals striving to make improvements for sustainability and quality in the services provided.”

Originally from Elgin, Minnesota, Sonnenberg came to Winona in 1995 to attend Winona State University. He now serves as the University’s Director of University Advancement Finance and the Controller for the WSU Foundation.

Winona Health board members are elected to serve on a volunteer basis. The board is responsible for establishing Winona Health’s strategic direction; quality and safety; financial oversight; and setting organizational policy. Board members are locally-focused and committed to sustaining a strong and independent, not-for-profit community-owned healthcare system. Founded in 1894, Winona Health has been serving the greater Winona community for more than 130 years.
