Saint Boniface Hospital (French: Hôpital Saint-Boniface; also called St. B; previously called the Saint-Boniface General Hospital) is Manitoba's second-largest hospital, located in the St. Boniface neighbourhood of Winnipeg.[2] Founded by the Sisters of Charity (Grey Nuns) of Montreal in 1871, it was the first hospital in Western Canada.[3][4] The hospital was incorporated in 1960, and as of 2020 has 436 beds and 30 bassinets.[1]
St. Boniface Hospital is a tertiary health care facility,[2] employing nearly 3,500 staff and 340 doctors with admitting privileges.[5] The hospital buildings cover about 120,774 m2 (1,300,000 sq ft).[6] The St. Boniface Hospital & Research Foundation is the primary fundraising organization for the hospital. The general admissions program cares for 4,000 patients per year in-hospital, and about 40,000 as outpatients. Over 5,000 births per year occur at the hospital. St. Boniface is a regional centre for cardiac care, and is one of two specialized laboratory testing facilities. It also provides diagnostic imaging and hemodialysis for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.
Besides patient care, St. Boniface Hospital also carries out medical research and offers practicum positions for university students through its affiliation with the University of Manitoba.[7] The hospital's primary research mandate is in cardiovascular studies, imaging (especially MRI), neurodegenerative disorders, and nutraceuticals. The hospital also participates in clinical trials of research discoveries.
