Shared Health

What Shared Health does

Shared Health is Manitoba's designated bilingual provincial health authority, operating as a Crown entity with more than 18,000 employees delivering provincial planning, clinical services, and operational support across Manitoba's health system. The organization provides a broad portfolio of services including emergency response, mental health and addictions (anchored by the 24/7 Crisis Response Centre), diagnostic and laboratory services across 80+ locations, primary care, Indigenous Health, and specialized programs such as Transplant Manitoba, the Breast Health Centre, and Tissue Bank Manitoba. Services are delivered through mandated coordination with Manitoba's five regional health authorities (Winnipeg, Northern, Interlake-Eastern, Prairie Mountain, Southern Health-Santé Sud) and CancerCare Manitoba, and are publicly funded through provincial government appropriations at no direct cost to patients.

The organization's technology platform centers on provincial digital health infrastructure, including eChart Manitoba (electronic health records), MBTelehealth (virtual care), Electronic Medical Records, Home Clinics, VECTRS (Virtual Emergency Care & Transfer Resource Service), and the Mental Health and Wellness Resource Finder. A distinguishing technical initiative is the Race, Ethnicity, and Indigenous (REI) Identity Data Collection program, launched in partnership with the University of Manitoba's Ongomiizwin Indigenous Institute — making Manitoba the first Canadian province to collect self-declared race-based patient data. Digital systems are supplemented by clinical secure messaging and the eHealth hub, with marketing and service navigation driven through the sharedhealthmb.ca website and a dedicated Health Provider Portal.

Shared Health's business model is single-payer public funding through the Manitoba government, with no commercial pricing, no fee-for-service revenue, and no parent or external equity backing. The organization has no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Operational priorities in 2023–2026 have centered on workforce expansion (provincial nursing float pool, international recruitment from the Philippines and the United States), equity and anti-racism initiatives, and digital infrastructure scaling. Accreditation is held from Accreditation Canada. Leadership is headed by CEO Adam Topp, with provincial medical specialty leads and a Board of Directors overseeing executive governance.
