Roseanna Winters,

Business Manager

Rosanna holds a Bachelor of Science degree from George Mason University.  Italian by birth, Rosanna has inherited a natural love of cooking enabling her to influence the direction of the nutrition program toward natural, wholesome food.  Using whole, plant based foods as primary ingredients, the menu for her family has always reflected what research has proven to be the healthiest diet in the prevention of chronic diseases including heart disease, type II diabetes, and certain cancers.  

Coming from a varied background, Rosanna’s experiences have provided the center with a range that nurtures the development of programs needed for a complete and healthy lifestyle.  Before accepting her current position at DWC she was The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Patient Service Manager for the State of South Carolina where she was responsible for developing and implementing programs for patients, their families and health care professionals.

• Family Support Groups
• First Connection – Matching newly diagnoses people with those doing well in recovery.
• Outreach to Healthcare professionals
• Patient Advocacy – met with Senator Hollings, resulting in the raising of $5 million for blood cancer research.
• Cancer Survivor program - nationally recognized by the Society and was granted the Society’s highest award
• Back to School - By recruiting top health care professionals from around the country she was able to unite an elite team of experts for the development of a “Back to School” program that is now used nationally by the Society

Rosanna is now using her skills to develop and implement research based lifestyle programs to empower DWC’s clients to achieve optimal health.   She considers it a privilege to work with her husband, Paul, helping to bring to fruition his vision for this important work. “Over the years I’ve watched Paul use his passion and knowledge to eliminate suffering in those who have complex health issues.  Many times he has restored their ability to enjoy their lives”.
