Misericordia Report to the Community

3 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2015-2016 MISERICORDIA HEALTH CENTRE Misericordia Corporation Members For more than 100 years, the Misericordia Sisters accomplished so much in Winnipeg — everything from operating a hospital, an orphanage and a school of nursing to advocating for donations to inspiring communities with calls to action. When the Sisters returned to their Motherhouse in Montreal in 2004 they entrusted the ownership of Misericordia Health Centre to our five volunteer Misericordia corporation members, including the Archbishop of Winnipeg. Our corporation, supported by the board of directors, ensures the Misericordia Sisters' Mission — Compassion of the Heart for Those in Need — and values are lived through our staff and volunteers in their delivery of excellent faith-based care. The Misericordia Sisters still monitor our progress from afar — they even follow MHC on social media — and are proud of MHC's focus on outpatient excellence and healthy aging. This year MHC's corporation is pleased to be a sponsor of the Catholic Health Association of Manitoba's Legacy of Care, Courage and Compassion project honouring women religious. *Congratulations to the Honourable Madam Justice Kaye E.
