 We are pleased to welcome Katie Ferniuk Davey to the Misericordia Health Centre Foundation’s Board of Directors.
As Manager of Hockey Administration and Family Relations with the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club, Katie brings more than a decade of experience in hockey operations, along with expertise in strategic planning, relationship building, event coordination, and community fundraising. Since joining the Jets in 2014, she has supported hockey personnel and their families, while also helping lead community and charitable initiatives. Katie’s connection to the Foundation began through the InVision Gala Committee. After learning more about the Foundation and the impact of its work in the community, she was inspired to become more involved. “Hearing about the Foundation’s work and the impact it has on the community really resonated with me, and I was excited to become involved myself.” That experience led Katie to join the InVision Gala Committee and, ultimately, the Foundation’s Board. As she begins this new role, she is looking forward to learning more about Misericordia Health Centre, building meaningful relationships, and contributing her strategic planning skills to help advance the Foundation’s work. We are grateful to have Katie join the Board and look forward to the perspective, experience, and commitment she brings to our work in support of MHC and our community.

Their generosity, kindness, and dedication touches the lives of patients, residents, families, and staff every day. During National Volunteer Week, we celebrate not only the incredible impact volunteers make, but also the importance of supporting them in meaningful ways. Each year, thanks to the tremendous generosity of our donors, Misericordia Health Centre Foundation is able to support initiatives that enhance the volunteer experience. From providing snacks and helping offset transportation costs, to funding new uniforms, these efforts are designed to ensure volunteers feel comfortable, valued, and ready to focus on what matters most – making a difference for all those who walk through Misericordia’s doors. This year, that support also included funding secure lockers in the Volunteer Services offices – one of the many ways we aim to create a positive and welcoming environment for those who give so much of their time. “Having secure lockers allows volunteers to safely store their valuables and focus on the reason they’re here – helping others,” says the Volunteer Services team. “It also sends an important message that they are valued, that we care about them, and that we want them to have a positive and stress-free experience while volunteering at MHC.” When we support our volunteers, we strengthen the spirit of compassion that makes Misericordia Health Centre such a special place. Thank you for making this possible.  The Misericordia School of Nursing didn’t just train nurses — it built lifelong friendships. The Class of 1961B is a beautiful example of that enduring bond.
More than 60 years later, 20 classmates remain closely connected. Together, they have celebrated milestones, supported one another through life’s challenges, and remembered dear friends who are no longer with them. Wanting to honour those classmates in a meaningful way, the group came together to give back to the place that first brought them together. In memory of their friends and classmates who are no longer with them, they made a generous gift to the Misericordia Health Centre Foundation — a tribute to the place that shaped their careers and their lives. The MHC Foundation team had the pleasure of meeting Eve-Anne, the class spokesperson, who spoke proudly of her classmates and their unwavering support for one another. When she called each member to share the idea of making a donation, she said “100% said yes — so here we are!” While she visited the office to make the donation, she also shared a handwritten letter that encapsulated the spirit of their group. “We are all 85 & 90 years old! Great group & very close. We had an excellent 3 hard years of training & we all survived!!” That same spirit of resilience and closeness continues to define them today. Their gift is more than a donation. It is a celebration of friendship, a remembrance of those who have passed, and a powerful example of what it means to remain connected — even six decades later. On behalf of the entire MHC community, we thank the Class of 1961B Nurses for choosing to make this meaningful tribute.  As we welcome 2026 and all the new opportunities it brings, I want to pause for a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your incredible past support of Misericordia Health Centre (MHC). Your generosity truly continues to make a meaningful difference in supporting MHC as it delivers unique and highly specialized care to Manitobans. Because of you, we are helping to build a healthier future for our community. Thank you.
As we look ahead, the needs of MHC’s patients, residents, and their families remain as important as ever. We are inspired by the opportunities before us and energized by what we can accomplish together. I’m excited to highlight just a few ways we can come together this year to make lasting and positive impacts at MHC. Please mark your calendars – the Misericordia Golf Classic is teed up for June 11 at Breezy Bend Country Club, InVision is set for October 14 at RBC Convention Centre, and Angel Squad will kick off once again on Giving Tuesday, December 1 – right here at MHC! Beyond that, we are excited to be welcoming the New Year with a feel-good opportunity for our incredible community to help fill the halls of MHC with love, gratitude, and messages that matter. From now until February 14, you can send the love and share the care! When you send a heart or a flower, you’re doing more than celebrating Valentine’s Day — you’re supporting compassionate care and the incredible teams who care for patients every day.

We are grateful to have you alongside us on this journey and look forward to sharing meaningful updates on the powerful impact of your generosity in the year ahead.
