Misericordia Health Centre

What Misericordia Health Centre does

Misericordia Health Centre (MHC) is a Winnipeg-based, faith-based, accredited non-profit healthcare organization founded in 1898 by the Misericordia Sisters and governed by Misericordia Corporation within the Archdiocese of Winnipeg. It operates a diversified portfolio across four streams: Acute Care (including the Eye Care Centre of Excellence — the largest comprehensive surgical eye program in Western Canada with 13,000+ surgeries and 40,000+ annual patient assessments — the Sleep Disorder Centre, the largest in Canada with 10,000+ clients, the Minor Injury and Illness Clinic, Easy Street rehabilitation, Ambulatory Care, Pediatric Dental Surgery, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and the Community IV Program), Clinical Services (Diagnostic Imaging operated by Shared Health, Laboratory, Social Work, Spiritual Health, Recreation Therapy, and Falls Prevention), Long-Term Care (Misericordia Place, a 100-bed personal care home, PRIME, Transitional Care, and the new 97-unit Misericordia Terrace independent living facility), and the Provincial Health Contact Centre, which runs 22 telephone-based programs including Health Links–Info Santé.

Revenue is derived primarily from public healthcare funding administered through the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and Manitoba Health, supplemented by charitable donations through the Misericordia Health Centre Foundation and a $25.8 million CMHC federal capital contribution for the Misericordia Terrace seniors housing project (announced August 2021). Patient volumes reach over 1,055,000 annual registrations across the campus. The organization serves a geographic catchment spanning Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, with specialty referrals routed in from across the province. The business is not commercially marketed; access is via physician referrals, walk-in clinics, and provincial health system channels.

The organization is affiliated with the University of Manitoba (including its ophthalmology residency program), the University of Winnipeg, and the University of Brandon, training 178+ healthcare students annually. It completed a 2021 merger of its Eye Bank with Tissue Bank Manitoba and operates under a 2022-2026 Strategic Plan that emphasizes a "Healthy Aging Campus of Care" model. Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory services are operated by Shared Health, embedding MHC within Manitoba's 77-facility provincial diagnostic network. Pricing for core services is set by Manitoba Health; private-pay fees (e.g., PRIME, respite care) exist but are not publicly disclosed.
