Fortunate to be experiencing good health, Lauren Miene didn\u2019t give much thought to healthcare. But when she took a tumble during a beautiful Sunday of cross-country skiing, she suddenly found herself in need of care. After brushing herself off, she realized her wrist seemed to have taken the brunt of the fall, and she decided she should get it checked. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know where Urgent Care was,\u201d she laughed, \u201cbut I found it and had a very pleasant experience. Dr. [Lawrence] Waite was wonderful, his nurse was so helpful, and everyone was so caring.\u201d An X-ray proved inconclusive, and, not wanting to risk further injury or a potential decrease in range of motion, Lauren was referred to Hans Serleth, MD, Winona Health\u2019s hand surgeon, who ordered an MRI. \u201cThe MRI technologist, Marti [Gabel], was really nice\u2014so affirming\u2014she made sure I was comfortable and checked on how I was doing throughout the entire test to make sure I was ok and could let her know if I had a question or needed to adjust.\u201d After her MRI, Lauren mentioned to Marti that she\u2019d be back in a few days for a mammogram. \u201cMarti immediately said \u2018let\u2019s see if we can get you in now as long as you\u2019re here and we can save you a trip!\u2019 Sure enough, they were able to do my mammogram right then, too! I wouldn\u2019t have minded coming back, but that was so thoughtful\u2014talk about service!\u201d Lauren said she is doing occupational therapy at Winona Health as a result of her wrist injury and, “Holly [Taylor] is giving me reassurance, confidence and encouragement to get back to all my regular activities.” She adds that she is now also nearly caught up health-wise after a checkup with Mary Michener, MD, and preventive health screenings including a head-to-toe skin check with Dermatologist Kevin Christensen, MD. \u201cEveryone has been absolutely wonderful\u2014so caring and so good at what they do. Before we lived in Winona, my husband and I had always lived in bigger cities. We\u2019ve lived in Winona since 1992. It\u2019s easy to ignore what\u2019s right here in front of you until you need it. Winona Health is really special, and I hope people don\u2019t take this for granted.\u201d \u2060\u2014Lauren Miene<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
