WINONA, Minn. — A State Health Department report that blamed nursing lapses and bad judgement for a patient’s death at Watkins Manor will be appealed. Winona Health, which operates Watkins Manor, said the state report findings were wrong: “We firmly disagree with this determination and are appealing.” The death, in July, was a patient in palliative care. Winona Health called the death “an extremely difficult and sad situation for all.”
