In an open house celebrating their six-month anniversary at their new location, Winona Home Medical demonstrates a wide variety of goods and services that are constantly adapting to their customers’ and patients’ needs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe business\u2019s website says its staff includes a respiratory therapist with \u201cmore than 30 years of experience in home respiratory care, along with other caring experts who will make choosing and using home health products easy and enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the only home medical equipment provider in the city, director of retail services Bill Cota says the business has been increasing what it has to offer.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce Bourne Medical went out of business last July, we really saw the need to expand and offer more products,\u201d Cota said.<\/p>\n
The business\u2019s current location was purchased two years ago by Winona Health, but Cota said the hospital didn\u2019t have any plans for the property until the closing of Bourne Medical.<\/p>\n

Cota said he expects business to keep growing and adapting to their customers\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to continue to grow,\u201d Cota said. \u201cBecause every month or two we\u2019re adding new products, adding new services. Both of those have obviously continued to make us steadily grow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
