Most of the time, we don’t have to think about medical care. However, when the need for healthcare does arise, it is reassuring to know that outstanding healthcare is available right in your backyard – in part, because people like you invest in Winona Health, our community’s healthcare system. The Winona Health Foundation is committed to continuing the legacy begun in 1894.

Over the years, private contributions have enabled Winona Health to grow from a small 18-bed hospital in 1894 to a multi-faceted, dynamic community healthcare system. The Winona Health Foundation secures crucial funding that helps support the delivery of excellent care and services to a growing number of patients and families.
