| SENATORS MILLER AND HANN VISIT WINONA HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS |
(St. Paul) Senator Jeremy Miller (R-Winona) and Senator David Hann (R-Eden Prairie), Chairman of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, will visit and tour health care providers in Winona on Wednesday, December 14.
Sen. Miller commented, At both the federal and local level, health care is a leading component of our public spending. Even with a small, perhaps temporary, state budget surplus, it is imperative that we continue to reform and improve the way we deliver government services. Health care and well being services are and will continue to be at the center of the discussion. This visit will be one of many steps we will take to increase the dialogue with providers to identify ways we can work together to improve services and lower costs.
The legislators will visit two area providers of health and well being services, Home and Community Options (HCO) and Winona Health. Rep. Gene Pelowski (DFL-Winona) has been invited to attend both events.
