Buenos días! The flavours, the music, the celebration—we can’t wait to welcome you this evening to Savour Mexico: Wine & Food Experience, presented by Garcea Group of Companies!

Even if you’re not joining us in person, you can still help shape the future of health care in Manitoba at HSC_Winnipeg.

This year’s Fund-A-Need campaign supports critical upgrades for minimally invasive spine and joint replacement surgery. Our goal is to raise $425,000—and thanks to the Manitoba Spine Program, every dollar will be matched, doubling the impact of your gift.
Funds raised will help purchase an additional Stryker Q Guidance System, along with other essential surgical equipment, including a new anesthesia machine. This advanced technology will allow surgeons to perform procedures with greater precision and efficiency—enabling up to 200 additional spine surgeries and 400 more joint replacements each year. The result: shorter wait times and better outcomes for patients across Manitoba.

Special thanks to our Fund-A-Need Matching Champion, Just Like New To You, and our Fund-A-Need Matching Leaders, Wellington-Altus Private Wealth Inc. and Greg and Becky Fettes, for their early support of the Savour Mexico Fund-A-Need auction.

Help reduce the spread of respiratory viruses by following these preventative measures.

With respiratory viruses circulating, it’s important to know what symptoms to look for and when to seek help.

Where you go will depend on your child’s symptoms as well as where you are located. Many common cold and flu symptoms can be safely treated at home, or with a visit to your doctor, a walk-in clinic, or urgent care centre.

Having a sick or injured child can be scary and overwhelming. Knowing where to go BEFORE your child becomes sick or injured can help you make the right decision when they need care.

On February 13th at 1 p.m., something truly special happened in our NICU — all 48 babies were read the same book at the same time, by a parent or a member of the healthcare team. We did it! 🙌

According to staff who were present, it was a wonderful five minutes. So many parents came in to participate and read to their infants, embracing this month’s focus on how reading supports neurodevelopment. Seeing families prioritize this moment was incredibly meaningful.

Staff are also so grateful for the support of their section head, medical and nursing directors, managers, and allied health team members who stepped away from their busy day to be present and share in this experience. It was a team effort. ❤️ Bedside nurses delayed or shortened their breaks to ensure that every baby had someone reading to them. That dedication speaks volumes about the heart of our NICU team.

A very special thank you to the Children’s Library for generously donating the books, which were then gifted to every infant — a keepsake from a beautiful shared moment.

What a celebration of teamwork, family partnership, and the power of reading! 📖

Submitted by Veronica Braganza, Clinical Nurse Specialist. Thank you Veronica for capturing this special moment!

On Bruce Stevenson's office door you'll find a whiteboard with a saying on it that he changes out every two weeks. Right now, it reads: "The colour of a person’s skin should be as insignificant as the colour of their eyes."

From a very young age, Bruce's parents instilled in him to accept everyone for who they are – not for what they look like. His father, James Stevenson, taught him that in the face of adversity what defines who you are is how you deal with it. He would often say "it’s not what colour you are, it is who you are."

Bruce's mother, Inez Stevenson, taught him about the importance of giving back.

"She overcame many childhood obstacles and became the first black woman to hold a public office as a school trustee in Manitoba and the second one in Canada. Her strong commitment to helping others, particularly children, has had a significant impact on my life both professionally and personally," he said.

"I carry my family values of love, respect, and empathy everywhere I go and into every patient interaction in my role as a clinical psych nurse at Health Sciences Centre."

During the month of February, Manitoba’s health system recognizes the significant contributions, influence and achievements of the Black community.

Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate Black culture and highlight some of the many compassionate Black individuals within our health care community who continually provide excellent care and strengthen our teams. We encourage you to read their stories and join us in honouring their achievements and the contributions they make every day.
