Greetings!
Summer in Minnesota always seems to be filled to the brim with events with never enough time to get it all in.

It has brought with it some of the most wonderful weather and numerous activities, allowing us to fully enjoy all the season has to offer!

Making a Difference Award: Health Coach Program
Dr. Matt Broghammer, a Winona Health general surgeon, will be dancing on behalf of Live Well Winona in the 2013 Dancing with the Winona Stars event this New Year's Eve. Dr. Broghammer is raising funds for the start-up costs needed for a new community health coach program, a collaboration between Winona State University and  Winona Health. Students will be trained to be the eyes and ears of a medical/clinical care team in the homes of patients. Students will help high-risk patients and community members follow a medical care plan by engaging them in their homes with the goal of keeping their hospital visits to a minimum.
To contribute to this program, you can donate online, or stop by Dr. B's next fundraiser at Culver's between 5-8pm on November 12th and Eat for a Cause!
