At WinnMed, we celebrate the growth and evolution that shape our team and strengthen our organization. Today, we’re proud to highlight two leaders who bring passion, experience, and heart to their work. Meet Amy Lukas, Director of Nutrition Services, and DeeJay Orthaus, Supervisor of Nutrition Services!

With 31 years of experience in nutrition, Amy has built a career rooted in service and expertise. Since joining WinnMed, her journey has taken a meaningful turn, transitioning from her previous role as a clinical dietitian into a broader, more strategic leadership position. Along the way, she has strengthened her decision‑making, embraced leading with empathy, and expanded her impact by supporting staff development and improving systems across the organization. She loves guiding her team, championing high standards, and aligning work with WinnMed’s mission. A native of the area, Amy is grateful to be back and contributing to the community she loves.

DeeJay has been a valued member of WinnMed since 2015, beginning his journey as a cook and recently stepping into the role of Nutrition Services Supervisor, an opportunity that reflects his dedication, adaptability, and steady growth within the department. With more than 30 years of food service experience across a variety of settings, he brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective to the team. Over the years, DeeJay has continued to grow into a leader who approaches new challenges with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to learn. His passion for nutrition and its impact on overall well being guides his work each day, and he truly loves working alongside the team that makes it all possible.

Join us in celebrating Amy and Deejay’s leadership and the meaningful impact they make across WinnMed.
