🎓 Congratulations, Maggie Winsand!
Growing up with Celiac Disease, Maggie learned firsthand what it means to navigate medical appointments, advocate for herself, and rely on healthcare professionals who truly listen. That experience has fueled her drive to bring compassion and communication into healthcare herself. She's a graduate of Menomonie High School and the recipient of the Ricky J. Hanson Memorial Scholarship. This fall, she'll be studying Nursing with a Spanish minor.
"Growing up with Celiac Disease has given me firsthand experience and understanding of what it feels like to navigate through medical appointments, advocate for myself, and rely on healthcare professionals who understand and listen. Managing a chronic condition from a young age helped me realize how important compassion and communication in healthcare are."
Maggie, your future patients are lucky to have you. Congratulations, and good luck this fall! 💛
