WELCOME TO ST. BONIFACE HOSPITAL

Announcement: Please note that as of May 1, 2026, our ground-floor Forgan South Entrance will become a staff-only entrance.

As of May 1, all public entry to the hospital at the south end will occur via the new main-floor entrance, located under the canopy next to Emergency.

The ground floor of the hospital and tunnels to the Asper Institute, McEwen Centre and Sakharov MRI Centre can easily be accessed that way via an elevator and staircase located in the south entrance lobby.

The main-floor south entrance’s hours will be 5:45 am to 11:30 pm, seven days a week. The nearby Emergency Department entrance will remain open to the public 24/7, for Emergency Department access only.

Patients and the public will still be able to exit via the ground-floor south entrance doors, located near Robin’s Donuts, but the public will no longer be able to enter that way.

The ground-floor tunnel entrance will remain open to the public until April 30 at 11:30 pm.

Signage will be posted on the doors and near the entrance to support this change.

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.

St. Boniface Hospital is home to one of Manitoba’s only Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), and every year dozens and dozens of little patients “graduate” from the unit and go on to live healthy lives. To celebrate these graduates, SBH hosted a Spring Fling on May 4, to bring together grads, their families, and NICU staff.
