Misericordia Health Centre, located in the heart of the city, is at the heart of the response to COVID-19.
 
As we’ve seen during each wave of the pandemic, the demand on health-care providers increases and evolves rapidly. Yet, our front-line staff continues working tirelessly 24/7. 

Misericordia Health Centre’s (MHC) commitment to providing exceptional and compassionate care has never wavered. We are here for you. MHC staff are working tirelessly and collaboratively, relocating team members and resources to support COVID-19 efforts.
 
As of May 2021, more than 30 MHC health-care heroes (nurses, health-care aides, clinic assistants) have been redeployed to other hospitals throughout the city to aid with patient care.  The Eye Care Centre of Excellence remains open; however, with only one surgical slate for emergencies. These are challenging changes and hardships on all, but necessary sacrifices to save Manitobans’ lives. You can read more about how staff have been responding to these changes here. 

Unfortunately, for thousands of Manitobans, the COVID-19 chapter of their life doesn't end once the infection subsides. Two rehabilitation programs at MHC - Easy Street and MHC for Lungs - are major players in post COVID-19 patient care. You can read more about how these programs are helping COVID-19 long-haulers here. 

Your donation is among the most impactful ways you can thank caregivers on the front lines.

Your gift today will be sent where it is most urgently needed, and by giving now, you will help strengthen our capacity to continue offering exceptional care during this challenging time.
 
The COVID-19 Relief Fund allows us the flexibility to support the increasing demands on Misericordia, especially in three critical areas. Examples of how donations have been, and may continue to be, used include:   
​

• Long-Term Care: Your donation will help prevent social isolation by providing older adults at Misericordia Place and in the Transitional Care Unit with technology to stay connected with loved ones, as well as complimentary TV services. Additionally, therapeutic kits and innovative exercise technology equipment supports the physical and mental health of the patients and residents who are depending on us now more than ever.
• Health Links – Info Santé: Health Links – Info Santé is a critical COVID-19 resource for all of Manitoba. Since the onset of the pandemic, Health Links – Info Santé has more than tripled its team to serve Manitobans looking for accurate information and resources. Your support of the COVID-19 Relief Fund assists with the expansion of this critical service, including any necessary technology updates, and the changing needs of MHC staff.
• Eye Care Centre of Excellence: Misericordia is home to the Provincial Eye Care Centre of Excellence, the largest comprehensive surgical and treatment program in Western Canada. In response to COVID-19, the Eye Centre has had to make many changes to continue to operate. One thing that won’t change – the Eye Centre will always remain open for eye emergencies.​

On behalf of our team and MHC staff, we are so thankful for you, our donors, sponsors and supporters, for standing with us during these unprecedented times. Because of you, we are able to continue to respond to the evolving needs of the Health Centre as we get through this together. Thank you.” Kris Gladwell, President & CEO, MHC Foundation
