Erma Juhl, who has been a volunteer at Woodwinds Health Campus since 2007, says she just has to stay busy.
Erma Juhl recently logged 1,000 hours volunteering at Woodwinds Health Campus in Woodbury, demonstrating a work ethic that began with her time on a Hutchinson farm as a girl. Administrators threw her a birthday party last week; at 90, she is the oldest volunteer at the health center. Woodbury Patch sat down with Juhl on Monday to talk about her experiences. Woodbury Patch: How did you start volunteering at Woodwinds? Erma Juhl: I worked at 3M for 23 years, until they sold the pharmaceutical division. I didn’t want to stay at home—I’ve worked my whole life. I’ve really enjoyed it here. Patch: What do you do at Woodwinds?

The Woodbury health center now offers more on-site oncologists and services, and plans to ask the state for permission to move a linear accelerator—used for radiation therapy—to Woodwinds from St. John's Hospital.
Woodwinds Health Campus on Tuesday unveiled its latest initiative to fight cancer. The Woodbury hospital, part of the HealthEast system, has expanded its offerings for cancer patients with new facilities for chemotherapy and an increase in on-site oncologists. The number of people with cancer in the Woodbury area is growing faster than it is elsewhere, mostly due to an aging population and increased early detection, said Les Stern, vice president of specialty physicians with HealthEast. With its holistic care model—which includes acupressure, music therapy and other alternative-medicine options—Woodwinds was well suited for the expanded care, Stern said. The new program, called "Cancer Care," will also mean shorter drives for many …
