Artists in Healthcare Manitoba
In 2001 St. Boniface was the first hospital in Manitoba to welcome Artists in Healthcare Manitoba and its artistic programs — varying from visual artists to musicians — on its units. A not-for-profit organization, AIHM was created to enhance patient, family and staff wellness through the introduction of the creative arts in health care. These musical performances throughout the hospital are made possible thanks to the ongoing support of Artists in Healthcare Manitoba. If you would like a musician to perform on the unit where your loved one is a patient, please contact Volunteer Services at 204-237-2442.
Buhler Gallery
When St. Boniface Hospital opened the Buhler Gallery in 2007, it was the culmination of a dream that was championed by staff, patients and volunteers for a number of years to find space within our walls where people could retreat for a time from the often stark and challenging realities that come with life in hospital. Take the opportunity to visit its exhibitions.
Television Rental Services
Effective June 2, 2025, please be advised TV entertainment and rental services are no longer available at the patient bedside.
Since 2019, we had partnered with a patient television equipment and service provider to offer entertainment services at the patient bedside. As there are now more and more patients equipped with their own personal devices, there has been a significant decline in use of bedside TV services over the last few years. This decline in demand was substantial enough that we are unfortunately no longer able to financially support the maintenance and equipment fees for the IBTs and thereby canceled the services.
There are other entertainment services to be provided to patients at the bedside. We have moved to a new model whereby promoting the use of services through Volunteer Services and encouraging patients and families to bring their own devices. Volunteer Services offers a variety of patient activity items (book cart, crossword puzzles, newspaper, etc) and services (Art at the Bedside, Musicians performing at the bedside through Music to My Ears program, etc) for patients to enjoy and fill their time. Please contact their office at 237-2442 or [email protected] .

Patients may place local calls, third party billed calls or calling card calls. Please note the hospital system does not accept collect calls.
A Teletypewriter (TTY) is available for patients and family use. Please make this special inquiry with your nurse. Personal home telephones are not allowed.
