Charles Shepard, MD, an Internal Medicine physician at Winona Health, is retiring in March, after nearly half a century of caring for the Winona community.
To honor and thank him for his service and celebrate his well-earned retirement, Winona Health invites community members to an open house Saturday, March 23, from 1 – 3 p.m., on the 2nd floor of the clinic at Winona Health, 855 Mankato Avenue in Winona.
“Winona Health has been caring for this community for 130 years, and Dr. Shepard has been a caregiver here for 48 of those years. His patients and fellow caregivers, this organization and the Winona community – have benefitted in countless ways because he and his wife, Judy, chose to make Winona their home,” said Rachelle Schultz, Winona Health president and CEO. “I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have worked with Dr. Shepard. Not only is he a great physician, he is a great teacher, a persistent problem solver, and someone I could always rely on.”
A board-certified Internal Medicine physician, Dr. Shepard received his Bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, and his Medical Degree from Case-Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He completed his residency at the University of Minnesota. He has been with Winona Health since 1975.
In appreciation of his years of service, Winona Heath will make a gift to the Winona Health Foundation in Dr. Shepard’s honor.
