WINONA, Minn. — Winona Health plans to expand off-site clinician visits to the 1,100-student Cotter Schools campus in September. Winona Health already schedules such visits at four Winona public schools and serves about 300 students a year for primary and behavioral services. Space has been set aside at Cotter’s Nett Recreation Center for appointments. Parents can schedule appointments and choose whether to attend. Children are more in their comfort zones at school than in a clinic setting and don’t lose half-days going to the Winona Health clinic itself, a spokesperson said. Appointments are billed to parents’ insurance. Reports are accessible to parents online.
