Winona Health’s Quality Mission

Winona Health’s identity lies within its mission, vision and values. The bedrock of this strategic focus resides within quality and safety. At Winona Health, quality and safety is nonnegotiable.  It is not a catch phrase, theme or motto but a culture practiced daily.

Quality and safety are extremely difficult to define. Winona Health believes the community deserves health care that is measurably better. Winona Health strives to accomplish this by creating an environment centered on Continuous System Improvement (CSI). By doing so, Winona Health is able to more nimbly take outcome measurements to make effective change.

Winona Health also aims to empower its consumer. By providing the consumer with knowledge and encouraging them to actively participate in their own care, Winona Health hopes to create a provider – patient collaboration that will propel the meaning of excellence to a new level.

We can’t do this alone. It is our hope that together, Winona Health and you, an engaged healthcare consumer, will achieve a level of quality and safety that other healthcare organizations hope to emulate.

Sincerely,
Matthew Broghammer, DO, General Surgeon
Chair of the Quality and Safety Committee
