To maximize lifelong health and wellness, it’s important to develop an ongoing relationship with a healthcare provider. You have many options when it comes to selecting a healthcare provider for yourself or your child. Often referred to as your primary care provider, this person becomes a partner in helping you maintain or improve your health. If you are looking for a primary care provider, consider your personal needs and find someone you feel comfortable with. Winona Health has primary care providers at Winona and Rushford clinics.

Primary care providers are physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who serve as the first point of contact for your healthcare needs. Most often, primary care providers are those who see patients in the following departments: family medicine, internal medicine, obstetricians/gynecologists and pediatrics.
Pediatricians are skill in assessing the physical, emotional and social health of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. They focus on prevention, detection and management of health issues that affect children in various developmental stages. Learn more.

Family Practitioners provide general medical care including everything from preventing to treating acute (temporary) illnesses to chronic disease management. They also serve as your advocate in helping you find other resources and referring you to specialty services if the need arises. You can find Family Medicine providers in both the Winona and Rushford locations.

Internal medicine physicians provide general care for adults. They are trained in many procedures in several disciplines and serve as experts in complex disease management. Internists may receive referrals from family practice, surgery and other fields. Learn more.

Pharmacist referral: An extra layer of care and safety—and peace of mind.

Many patients appreciate and can benefit from a referral to a pharmacist in the clinic. This gives their provider more time for other types of care, and it gives patients extra one-on-one time to learn more about their prescription medications. Pharmacy is a unique specialty, and pharmacists are a valuable part of the healthcare team. They can help with chronic disease management and even recommend resources to help patients afford their medications.

Gene’s story:

“Michelle went over each prescription, provided information and tips and answered all my questions. This was very helpful as she is extremely knowledgeable about the medications and how they affect each other and their potential side effects. All the people in the clinic are just great and the follow through is really unbelievable. I feel very well cared for at Winona Health.” — Gene, Winona Health patient
