Workers have a legal right to refuse unsafe work, but without proper training related to workplace safety & health, reporting systems, or support from leadership, that right becomes impossible to exercise.
Healthcare professionals should be able to expect safe, secure workplaces, and all employees should be empowered to speak up about safety concerns, participate in training and drills, follow safe work procedures, and contribute to a culture of care and accountability.
Healthcare professionals shouldn’t have to choose between protecting themselves and delivering quality patient care.

Jennifer is a full-time System Status Controller (SSC) at MTCC, taking and dispatching emergency calls and facility transfers for the province of Manitoba. She says each day presents with its own uniqueness, challenges, and rewards.
Did you know?
In 2024, emergency dispatchers in Manitoba were on the phone handling calls for more than 15,650 hours, coordinating with police, firefighters, and paramedics to triage and dispatch the most appropriate emergency services… that’s more than three years’ worth of calls in one year!
Hope is a Registered Nurse and a Hospice Care Worker at Jocelyn House. She provides quality, family-centered care for people who are living the end of their lives. She says working in hospice care is more than a job – it’s a calling rooted in compassion, connection, and dignity.
“I believe that everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and support, especially during challenging times. Working in health care allows me to be part of those meaningful moments and to offer comfort when it matters most.”
Shaped by the strength of our members and their willingness to stand in solidarity for allied health recognition, 2025 was a year of action and advocacy.
From welcoming new Member Advocates and finding new ways to amplify member voices, to ratifying competitive contracts, investing in scholarships, and showing up at the bargaining table – this is what collective power looks like.
Our team is looking forward to doing more of this important work in 2026!

We are proud to represent 7,500+ allied health professionals across the province, working in labs, hospitals, clinics, care homes, and community settings. But what exactly does mean, and who are our diverse members?

Dorota is a Mental Health Therapist with the Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Clinic at Deer Lodge Centre. As a registered social worker, Dorota plays a vital role in supporting those who have served our country – military members, veterans, RCMP officers, and their families – as they navigate the impacts of trauma and operational stress.
Across Manitoba, allied health professionals deliver specialized care in every corner of our healthcare system — in prevention, diagnostics, rehab, emergency response, community programs, cancer care, mental health, and so much more more.
To honour their dedication and heart, especially because so many of them will be working through the winter holiday season delivering vital patient care, we reimagined a holiday classic with an allied health twist.

Workplace Safety & Health Committees, and the representatives who sit on these important committees, play a vital role in monitoring, improving, and ensuring workplace safety. By law, committees are required in workplaces with 20+ staff, yet many Manitoba healthcare facilities don’t have one.
No committee = no inspections, no oversight, no accountability.
Last week, MAHCP representatives — including Executive Council members, staff, and frontline members — attended the Manitoba Federation of Labour’s mid-term conference, EmPOWERing WORKERS.
The conference brought together union members from across Manitoba to share ideas, learn new strategies for engaging members, and hear powerful organizing success stories.
At a time when the cost of living and income inequality continue to rise, unions play a critical role in helping workers build economic security. They also remain a powerful force for creating safer, more inclusive, and more welcoming workplaces.
We’re proud to be part of this collective movement and to bring these lessons back to our members as we continue advocating for allied health professionals across Manitoba.
