This is MaKenzie’s first Mother’s Day.

Starting a family is a dream come true for MaKenzie and Jerad Ristau. Now, they’re celebrating the little boy who changed their world.

“I look at my son, Bode, all the time and I think about the whole journey,” MaKenzie says.

The Ristaus began their path to parenthood with fertility care treatments at Mankato Clinic.

Their experience is as emotional as it is medical. MaKenzie and Jerad share their story because many couples have trouble conceiving, but few openly talk about it.

The Ristaus leaned on Galen Beckel, physician assistant, and Larissa Halvorson, nurse practitioner, to support and guide them along the way.

Today, their story is just beginning.

Happy Mother’s Day to MaKenzie and to all the moms, moms-to-be, and couples still hoping to grow their family.

In many small towns, access to health care is shrinking. In Saint Peter, we’re doing the opposite.

That’s why Almanac spoke with our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Andrew Lundquist about the importance of rural health care and why keeping it local matters.

We’re proud to continue serving Saint Peter and the surrounding communities with care that stays connected to the people who live here.

Tune in to Almanac at 7 p.m. Friday, May 8, on Twin Cities PBS.

Nurses are the heartbeat of every visit.

From the first conversation to the moments that matter most, they’re the ones making sure you feel heard, supported, and cared for.

It takes skill, experience, and a level of compassion that shows up in every interaction.

We’re proud of the impact they make on our community.

For many patients and team members at Mankato Clinic, Dr. Rolf Storvick helped define what it means to care for a community. We’re deeply saddened to share he passed away over the weekend.

Dr. Rolf Storvick joined the clinic in 1984 and spent 34 years building our nephrology (kidney care) services from the ground up, serving in dual roles in primary and specialty care.

Even after his retirement in 2018, his influence never really left. It lives on through those he mentored, the care he helped shape, and the standard he set for those who followed. He was a trusted colleague, a teacher to many, and a steady presence throughout his time here.

We extend our condolences to his family, including his brother, Mankato Clinic internal medicine physician Dr. Eric Storvick, and to all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be greatly missed.
