to certain organizations, charities,
or individuals. In 1913, Winneshiek County
residents gave to build a local hospital
they could be proud of. According to the

“They were called upon to give to show

gratitude that they were alive in 1913.”
Winneshiek Medical Center is celebrating
100 years of hope, health, and healing this
year. It has grown into a vital and vibrant
health care hub for our region. Why?
Because people like you, believed in and supported the medical
center from the very beginning.
The Winneshiek Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors
want to thank our past, present and future donors for believing in
the vision and mission of local health care. Thank you for moving
us into the next 100 years of service to our region.

Celebrating 100 years of
health, hope & healing
100
years ago, a group
of forward-thinking
Winneshiek County citizens had
a vision: to build a hospital to
support a healthy, vibrant and
lasting community for future
generations.
Today, Winneshiek Medical
Center continues the 100-year
legacy of providing quality and
compassionate care. With an
active medical staff of nearly 30
Mayo Clinic Health System and
Gundersen Lutheran physicians,
and primary and specialty clinics
in Decorah, Ossian and Mabel,
Minnesota, Winneshiek Medical
Center has grown to become
the largest and most specialized
hospital in the region.
In 1914, one surgeon oversaw
the care of injury and illness. One
hundred years after the opening
of Decorah Hospital, our services
include multi-specialty surgical
services; MRI, CT Scan, x-ray
and digital mammography led
by an on-site radiologist; and
rehabilitation and sports medicine
clinics in Decorah, Calmar,
Postville, and Spring Grove, MN,
with outreach to area schools
and nursing homes. We offer
diabetes education; home medical
equipment; home health and
hospice; a hospitalist program
for 24-hour inpatient care; a
swing-bed program for skilled
nursing care for rehabilitation and
recovery; and obstetrics services
provided by both area physician
groups. Winneshiek Medical
Center also provides urgent
care, a 24/7 emergency room
and ambulance service staffed
by Mayo Clinic Health System
physicians, specialized nursing
staff and paramedics.
Our founders were motivated
to provide health care for their
family, friends and neighbors,
while strengthening the
community they called home.
WMC furthers their vision as we
set our sights on the future. We
continue our commitment to our
community by hiring skilled,
compassionate staff, by bringing
the newest medical technology
into our region, and by providing
care in a way that maintains
the personal experience of a
community hospital, but assures
patients that they are receiving the
very best in health care.
Winneshiek Medical Center
shares the sentiments of our
founders regarding the value of
our community and the efforts
necessary to not only to better
the medical center, but to make
it thrive. We look forward to
partnering with and serving our
region for the next 100 years.

Salute to our staff
T
his keepsake edition of the Community Heartbeat honors the more than 430 employees who provide
outstanding, quality care to our family, friends and neighbors each day. Because of their dedication,
we have become the third largest critical access hospital in the state, accredited by The Joint Commission’s
rigorous quality standards and named a 2014 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital in the nation.

When I think about all the patients and
their loved ones that I have worked with
over the years, I know most of them don’t
remember me nor I them. But I do
know that I gave a little piece of myself
to each of them and they to me and those
threads make up the beautiful tapestry in my
mind that is my career in nursing.

As the Winneshiek Medical Center Centennial year
draws to a close, the WMC Foundation has launched
LWV¿IWK$QQXDO)XQGFDPSDLJQWRSURPRWHFKDULWDEOH

“Why I Give.”
WMC Foundation Coordinator Holly Kanengieter
says, “Over the past year, we have paged through
the hospital’s history and uncovered many stories
of support from the local residents. From the
original campaign to build a hospital in 1913, to the
improvements we make today, committed donors
are the backbone of quality, local health care.” She
adds, “For this year’s Annual Fund campaign, we are
DVNLQJFRPPXQLW\PHPEHUVWRUHÀHFWRQKRZORFDO
health care has impacted their lives as they consider
a 2014 gift to the WMC Foundation.”
Donations are tax-deductible and donors are
recognized in the Foundation’s quarterly newsletter,
the Community Heartbeat, and gifts of $10,000+
are permanently displayed on the Founders Circle
for Health and Life wall in the main entrance of the
medical center.

WMC introduces Patient
Online Services
Patient Online Services is a
secure, interactive web program
that allows patients and their
families to take a more active role
in their care, and is conveniently
available through Winneshiek
Medical Center’s website at
www.winmedical.org.
Patient Online Services allows
you to:
• Request and track
appointments with
Winneshiek Medical Center
health care providers in the
Decorah, Ossian and Mabel
clinics.
• Exchange secure messages
with your health care team.
• Obtain access to
health information,
including laboratory
results, medications,
immunizations, allergies,
personal information, visit
history, discharge/aftercare
information, and more.
• Submit updates to
personal information prior to
your visit.
“Patient Online Services
helps us meet the needs of
our patients in an increasingly
online environment,” says Tyler
Menke, M.D., Mayo Clinic
Health System family medicine
physician at Winneshiek Medical
Center. “It is a great way for busy
families to stay in touch with
their health care provider. By
sending us secure messages, we
can communicate with patients
between appointments to answer
questions or provide guidance on
a health concern.”
Patient Online Services is
available to adults age 18 and
older, and parents/guardians can
obtain access for children age 12
and under. Youth ages 13-17 are
not eligible for a Patient Online
