Well, keeping your guinea pig healthy in the winter all depends on why it might be UN-healthy.
One reason would be the cold. Guinea pigs get too cold or too hot VERY easily. you will need to keep them in a warm room and away from windows or doors to outside. If you have cold air coming out of the vents, keep them away from those too. Be careful about the air your guinea pig is breathing they can easily get respiratory problems and start sneezing or coughing(or both).
The other reasons your guinea pig might not be healthy do not have to do with winter it could be loneliness (play with them every day), sickness (they could just have a bug), hygiene (bathe them and clean their cage), stress (provide more hides and/or remove the dominant animal), or many other things. Only your guinea pig really knows.
