Thanks for the generous donation, and thanks for encouraging your physicians and staff to participate! Congrats to Dr. Brown on another record for his age group!

Saturday, several of our Lakeview staff and physicians took to the streets of Waconia for the annual Walk On Waconia! It was a beautiful day to walk or run in support of such a great cause ()! Lakeview is happy to have supported such an important cause in our community and we want to thank everyone who participated and all of those who donated items to Lakeview's food drive!
