Teamwork is kind of our thing in Women’s Health… turns out it works pretty well in the grocery aisles too! 🛒💨

Dr. Heslinger and Katie Duerr, CNM sprinted the aisles during the WNB Financial Grocery Grab—with Katie grabbing items from the shelves while Dr. Heslinger kept the carts rolling—all with just 90 seconds on the clock.

The goal? Gather as many (in our case) healthy food and personal care items as possible for the Winona Volunteer Services Food Shelf.

And thanks to a little Cart Cam, you get to ride along for the action. 🎥

Together, participating teams gathered $7,926.32 in groceries—totaling 1,611 pounds of food for the food shelf. ❤️
