WELCOME TO ST. BONIFACE HOSPITAL
St. Boniface Hospital is mourning the recent passing of Debbie Brown
St. Boniface Hospital is mourning the recent passing of Debbie Brown, former Board Chair of SBH and a longtime advocate of the hospital.
Debbie passed away on Oct 7, while still a member of the hospital’s Board of Directors.
She worked as a nurse at SBH from 1974 to 1995, working in neurosurgery and even teaching at SBH’s former nursing school. She went on to serve as CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. Debbie joined the SBH board in 2018.
In 2022, Debbie became the first female layperson to ever chair our board, and the first woman to do so since the Grey Nuns themselves.
She served as Board Chair from 2022 to 2024, helping to lead SBH through the final years of the COVID pandemic, and overseeing much of the construction of our new Emergency Department. She brought commitment, tenacity, and grace to the position. Debbie is remembered by staff and fellow board members as a fierce advocate for patients, a champion of cardiac health and of SBH’s Women’s Heart Health initiative, and as an engaged and kind leader who made all feel welcome. Her nursing leadership and legacy will live on at SBH for years to come.
Rest in peace, Debbie.
The first phase of our new Emergency Department is now open to the public
The new Emergency Department at St. Boniface Hospital has been designed to improve patient and staff experiences, while maximizing functionality and flexibility.
- The inclusive, barrier-free facility has numerous features that improve patient care, including:
- An expanded waiting room and triage area
- An expanded, central resuscitation area
- A dedicated diagnostic imaging suite, with a new CT scanner and x-ray machine
- Private exam rooms in treatment areas
- A dedicated mental health treatment area
- A dedicated ambulance entrance and parking bay for 10 ambulances
- A new, covered south entrance to reduce congestion
- An improved south parking lot
- A public-use outdoor garden space
We are excited to move into our new space, but patients and visitors will still experience some construction-related impacts, such as hoarded-off areas and temporary pathways when in our new Emergency Department. The next phase of the project involves renovating the old ED, which will continue until summer 2026.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new space and to the completion of this project next year.
